Ten issues of NetGPT

Abstract: With the rapid development and application of foundation models (FMs), it is foreseeable that FMs will play an important role in future wireless communications. As current AI algorithms applied in wireless networks are dedicated models that aim for different neural network architectures and objectives, drawbacks in aspects of generality, performance gain, management, collaboration, etc. need to be conquered. In this paper, we define NetGPT (Network Generative Pre-trained Transformer) -- the foundation models for wireless communications, and summarize ten issues regarding design and application of NetGPT.
