DESCRIPTION:The rapid evolution of wireless communication toward beyond-6G 
 (B6G) and next generation Wi-Fi networks is driving a fundamental transfor
 mation in how radio resources are perceived\, managed\, and optimized. As 
 future networks are envisioned not only as communication infrastructures b
 ut as intelligent\, multi-functional ecosystems\, such paradigm shift intr
 oduces unprecedented challenges of multi-dimensional resource management i
 ncluding spectrum scarcity\, severe spatial-temporal interference coupling
 \, device heterogeneity and dynamically evolving service requirements. The
 refore\, this thesis establishes unified theoretical and algorithmic frame
 works for goal-directed\, value-oriented\, and learning-empowered resource
  orchestration and service provisioning to support future intelligent wire
 less networks.\n\nTo accommodate heterogeneous device capabilities and div
 erse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements\, a user-centric multi-dimensio
 nal multiple access (MDMA) framework is proposed by introducing a novel co
 ncept of resource utilization cost to quantify the energy\, processing\, a
 nd computational complexity associated with non-orthogonal interference ca
 ncellation procedure. By formulating user-specific situation-dependent cos
 t-gain utilities\, a max-min optimized solution is derived\, achieving fin
 er service provisioning granularity and higher inter-user fairness than st
 ate-of-the-art schemes.\n\nBuilding upon this foundation\, a novel demand-
 aware prioritization mechanism and diversity\, equity\, inclusion (DEI)-ba
 sed resource allocation scheme are proposed. By incorporating demand-aware
  priorities for individual users\, the DEI-based metric evaluates the weig
 hted mean-variance tradeoff of network-wide user utilities. The proposed a
 lgorithms can inclusively support differentiated service categories with h
 igher average utility and smaller inter-user disparity verified extensive 
 simulations. The DEI method can also adaptively accommodate and prioritize
  diverse QoS demands based on individualized service requirements and dyna
 mic resource conditions.\n\nTo address the growing complexity of coupled s
 patial-temporal interference and distributed resource reusing in ultra-den
 se Wi-Fi networks\, a novel multi-access point (AP) multi-dimensional reso
 urce coordination mechanism is developed. The proposed method amalgamates 
 coordinated spatial reuse (Co-SR) and coordinated orthogonal frequency div
 ision multiple access (Co-OFDMA) by dynamic channel access sensitivity con
 figuration\, resource unit (RU)-level interference assessment and reusabil
 ity evaluation. Simulations validate that the proposed multi-agent deep re
 inforcement learning (MADRL) method can opportunistically coordinate multi

X-ALT-DESC:Description: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rapid evolution of wireless communicat
 ion toward beyond-6G (B6G) and next generation Wi-Fi networks is driving a

 h paradigm shift introduces unprecedented challenges of multi-dimensional 
 resource management including spectrum scarcity\, severe spatial-temporal 
 interference coupling\, device heterogeneity and dynamically evolving serv

 and algorithmic frameworks for goal-directed\, value-oriented\, and learni
 ng-empowered resource orchestration and service provisioning to support fu
 ture intelligent wireless networks.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp\; &amp;nbsp\; To accommodate

 quirements\, a user-centric multi-dimensional multiple access (MDMA) frame
 work is proposed by introducing a novel concept of resource utilization co
 st to quantify the energy\, processing\, and computational complexity asso
 ciated with non-orthogonal interference cancellation procedure. By formula
 ting user-specific situation-dependent cost-gain utilities\, a max-min opt
 imized solution is derived\, achieving finer service provisioning granular
 ity and higher inter-user fairness than state-of-the-art schemes.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp
 \; &amp;nbsp\;&amp;nbsp\;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp\; &amp;nbsp\; Building upon this foundation\, a nov
 el demand-aware prioritization mechanism and diversity\, equity\, inclusio
 n (DEI)-based resource allocation scheme are proposed. By incorporating de
 mand-aware priorities for individual users\, the DEI-based metric evaluate
 s the weighted mean-variance tradeoff of network-wide user utilities. The 
 proposed algorithms can inclusively support differentiated service categor
 ies with higher average utility and smaller inter-user disparity verified 
 extensive simulations. The DEI method can also adaptively accommodate and

 l-directed\, contextually adaptive multi-AP coordination is developed usin
 g an hierarchical learning framework. The meta-level performs coarse-times
 cale coordination goal adaptation using semi-Markov proximal policy optimi

 oordinated resource decisions via a goal-conditioned MADRL model. An alter
 nating joint-training strategy is introduced to reconcile timescale dispar
