Abstract

En 中文
Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become key enabling platforms for low-altitude economic networks, yet achieving efficient and adaptive optimization under resource-constrained and dynamic environments remains challenging. This paper investigates language models for UAV-enabled Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems. First, a lightweight small language model (SLM)-based solution is developed using a pre-trained BERT backbone, enhanced UAV embeddings and contextual features, a geometry-aware path decoder, and ensemble inference to achieve low complexity, low latency, and high energy efficiency. Second, an Agentic AI-based framework is designed to exploit the reasoning and interactive capabilities of large language models (LLMs). It integrates four collaborative agents—Initializer, Actor, Critic, and Reflector—to form a closed loop of generation, optimization, evaluation, and reflection for iterative UAV path and energy optimization. Finally, simulations compare the SLM-, LLM-, and Agentic AI-based approaches.
