What happened

Collection of six 2026 arXiv papers covering networking, timing, and security-relevant research: (1) A 3GPP-oriented position on making the 6G air interface “AI-native,” arguing for protocol-level semantics to configure, validate, activate, monitor, and safely revert AI-enabled functions while avoiding prescribing model internals. (2) A host-driven SRv6-over-IPv6 flowlet balancing approach that avoids per-flow switch state and reduces tail latency in data center scenarios. (3) AB-Sync, an attention-based slot-level clock synchronization method for UWB-TDOA localization networks that reduces T∆
