The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded North Carolina State University $103,965 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for collaborative research on LLM-guided adaptive networking with edge intelligence for emergency response. The project develops an intelligent communication network that uses artificial intelligence to understand and predict changes in fire scenes and first responder operations, enabling the network to adaptively reconfigure itself to prevent communication disruption during emergencies. The work spans three interdependent research thrusts: semantic-aware multimodal sensing and adaptive data transmission mechanisms; an LLM-enabled network adaptation framework that models responder intent and environmental conditions; and adaptive resource allocation and memory management infrastructure enabling collaborative LLM inference across edge devices. Validation includes both simulations and real-world testing on the Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW) and the 6G Test Network Finland (6GTNF) testbeds, along with an integrated network and fire-emergency simulator. The project advances AI-native networking to support ultra-reliable and low-latency communication among humans, robots, and sensors in high-stakes emergency environments, with potential application beyond fire response to other latency-sensitive domains. Performance takes place in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
