AI large model-centered intelligent applications holds promises to revolutionize network quality of service (QoS). therefore, the deployment and utilization of such models in the Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT) are considered as an increasingly pressing priority. In particular, the integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into Industrial IoT, with a focus on establishing a robust NetGPT network architecture that leverages Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Device-to-Device (D2D) collaboration has been subjected to significant academic attention. Accordingly, this paper explores the optimization of dynamic network resource management in mobile D2D networks through the innovative application of NetGPT. First, a NetGPT-based system architecture for network resource management is proposed. Thereafter, mobile D2D network model is established with a detailed account of NetGPT training and NetGPT fusion. Finally, the workload scheduling strategy in industrial IoT based on Stackelberg game model is formulated though multi-agent GenAI and present the NetGPT-based orchestration of task co-offloading for mobile network nodes. Deep reinforcement learning is implemented at the edge side to compete and cooperate in addressing complex network problems, which enabling GenAI nodes in a co-offloading and load balancing manner. The implementation of NetGPT-enhanced D2D networks has been conducted in a Mininet simulation environment. Compared to traditional network solutions, our finding...
