Robust 4D Driving Scene Reconstruction from Imperfect Visual Priors

Reconstructing 4D driving scenes in the wild (e.g., internet and AI-generated videos) is critical for diverse autonomous driving simulation. While recent Gaussian Scene Graph (GSG) methods achieve impressive visual quality, they heavily rely on precise priors, such as accurate camera poses and LiDAR depth, or manual annotations. When initialized with noisy priors estimated from in-the-wild videos, existing GSG methods suffer from optimization ambiguity (e.g., entangling camera and agent poses) and topological failures (e.g., missing objects), causing severe rendering artifacts. To enable robust in-the-wild reconstruction, we introduce Adaptive Gaussian Graph (AGG), a self-correcting 4D framework. Our Semantically-Guided Tick-Tock Strategy leverages 2D foundation features to explicitly decouple static background and camera pose updates from dynamic agent learning. Concurrently, our Adaptive Topology Evolution module actively rectifies graph structures by spawning missing agents, reassigning misclassified Gaussians, and pruning false positives. To rigorously evaluate this in-the-wild setting, we introduce Wild-30, a challenging benchmark of internet and generative videos. Extensive experiments on KITTI and Wild-30 validate that AGG consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in visual fidelity and robustness under noisy priors.

CoT-VLM4Tar: Chain-of-Thought Guided Vision-Language Models for Traffic Anomaly Resolution

With the acceleration of urbanization, modern urban traffic systems are becoming increasingly complex, leading to frequent traffic anomalies. These anomalies encompass not only common traffic jams but also more challenging issues such as phantom traffic jams, intersection deadlocks, and accident liability analysis, which severely impact traffic flow, vehicular safety, and overall transportation efficiency. Currently, existing solutions primarily rely on manual intervention by traffic police or artificial intelligence-based detection systems. However, these methods often suffer from response delays and inconsistent management due to inadequate resources, while AI detection systems, despite enhancing efficiency to some extent, still struggle to handle complex traffic anomalies in a real-time and precise manner. To address these issues, we propose CoT-VLM4Tar: (Chain of Thought Visual-Language Model for Traffic Anomaly Resolution), this innovative approach introduces a new chain-of-thought to guide the VLM in analyzing, reasoning, and generating solutions for traffic anomalies with greater reasonable and effective solution, and to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our method, we developed a closed-loop testing framework based on the CARLA simulator. Furthermore, to ensure seamless integration of the solutions generated by the VLM with the CARLA simulator, we implement an itegration module that converts these solutions into executable commands. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of VLM in the resolution of real-time traffic anomalies, providing a proof-of-concept for its integration into autonomous traffic management systems.

Federated Deep Reinforcement Learning for Energy Efficient Multi-Functional RIS-Assisted Low-Earth Orbit Networks

In this paper, a novel network architecture that deploys the multi-functional reconfigurable intelligent surface (MF-RIS) in low-Earth orbit (LEO) is proposed. Unlike traditional RIS with only signal reflection capability, the MF-RIS can reflect, refract, and amplify signals, as well as harvest energy from wireless signals. Given the high energy demands in shadow regions where solar energy is unavailable, MF-RIS is deployed in LEO to enhance signal coverage and improve energy efficiency (EE). To address this, we formulate a long-term EE optimization problem by determining the optimal parameters for MF-RIS configurations, including amplification and phase-shifts, energy harvesting ratios, and LEO transmit beamforming. To address the complex non-convex and non-linear problem, a federated learning enhanced multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (FEMAD) scheme is designed. Multi-agent DDPG of each agent can provide the optimal action policy from its interaction to environments, whereas federated learning enables the hidden information exchange among multi-agents. In numerical results, we can observe significant EE improvements compared to the other benchmarks, including centralized deep reinforcement learning as well as distributed multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG). Additionally, the proposed LEO-MF-RIS architecture has demonstrated its effectiveness, achieving the highest EE performance compared to the scenarios of fixed/no energy harvesting in MF-RIS, traditional reflection-only RIS, and deployment without RISs/MF-RISs.

Autoware.Flex: Human-Instructed Dynamically Reconfigurable Autonomous Driving Systems

Existing Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS) independently make driving decisions, but they face two significant limitations. First, in complex scenarios, ADS may misinterpret the environment and make inappropriate driving decisions. Second, these systems are unable to incorporate human driving preferences in their decision-making processes. This paper proposes Autoware$.$Flex, a novel ADS system that incorporates human input into the driving process, allowing users to guide the ADS in making more appropriate decisions and ensuring their preferences are satisfied. Achieving this needs to address two key challenges: (1) translating human instructions, expressed in natural language, into a format the ADS can understand, and (2) ensuring these instructions are executed safely and consistently within the ADS' s decision-making framework. For the first challenge, we employ a Large Language Model (LLM) assisted by an ADS-specialized knowledge base to enhance domain-specific translation. For the second challenge, we design a validation mechanism to ensure that human instructions result in safe and consistent driving behavior. Experiments conducted on both simulators and a real-world autonomous vehicle demonstrate that Autoware$.$Flex effectively interprets human instructions and executes them safely.

Characterizing First Arrival Position Channels: Noise Distribution and Capacity Analysis

This paper introduces a novel mathematical model for Molecular Communication (MC) systems, utilizing First Arrival Position (FAP) as a fundamental mode of information transmission. We address two critical challenges: the characterization of FAP density and the establishment of capacity bounds for channels with vertically-drifted FAP. Our method relate macroscopic Partial Differential Equation (PDE) models to microscopic Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) models, resulting in a precise expression that links FAP density with elliptic-type Green's function. This formula is distinguished by its wide applicability across any spatial dimensions, any drift directions, and various receiver geometries. We demonstrate the practicality of our model through case studies: 2D and 3D planar receivers. The accuracy of our formula is also validated by particle-based simulations. Advancing further, the explicit FAP density forms enable us to establish closed-form upper and lower bounds for the capacity of vertically-drifted FAP channels under a second-moment constraint, significantly advancing the understanding of FAP channels in MC systems.

A Unified Framework for Calculating First Arrival Position Density in Molecular Communication

This paper introduces a novel unified framework for calculating the first arrival position (FAP) density in diffusion-based molecular communication (MC) systems with fully-absorbing receivers, applicable to any spatial dimension or receiver shape. We validate the effectiveness of our proposed method by presenting two concrete examples from the MC literature: the 2D line receiver and 3D spherical receiver. Our approach successfully reproduces existing results on FAP density and further enhances the original formula for the 2D line receiver by accommodating arbitrary drift directions. The proposed framework offers a comprehensive and versatile solution for determining FAP density in diffusive MC channels with fully-absorbing receivers, paving the way for more robust and efficient system designs.

Edge Selection and Clustering for Federated Learning in Optical Inter-LEO Satellite Constellation

Low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites have been prosperously deployed for various Earth observation missions due to its capability of collecting a large amount of image or sensor data. However, traditionally, the data training process is performed in the terrestrial cloud server, which leads to a high transmission overhead. With the recent development of LEO, it is more imperative to provide ultra-dense LEO constellation with enhanced on-board computation capability. Benefited from it, we have proposed a collaborative federated learning for low Earth orbit (FELLO). We allocate the entire process on LEOs with low payload inter-satellite transmissions, whilst the low-delay terrestrial gateway server (GS) only takes care for initial signal controlling. The GS initially selects an LEO server, whereas its LEO clients are all determined by clustering mechanism and communication capability through the optical inter-satellite links (ISLs). The re-clustering of changing LEO server will be executed once with low communication quality of FELLO. In the simulations, we have numerically analyzed the proposed FELLO under practical Walker-based LEO constellation configurations along with MNIST training dataset for classification mission. The proposed FELLO outperforms the conventional centralized and distributed architectures with higher classification accuracy as well as comparably lower latency of joint communication and computing.

Hierarchical Multi-Agent Multi-Armed Bandit for Resource Allocation in Multi-LEO Satellite Constellation Networks

Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation is capable of providing global coverage area with high-rate services in the next sixth-generation (6G) non-terrestrial network (NTN). Due to limited onboard resources of operating power, beams, and channels, resilient and efficient resource management has become compellingly imperative under complex interference cases. However, different from conventional terrestrial base stations, LEO is deployed at considerable height and under high mobility, inducing substantially long delay and interference during transmission. As a result, acquiring the accurate channel state information between LEOs and ground users is challenging. Therefore, we construct a framework with a two-way transmission under unknown channel information and no data collected at long-delay ground gateway. In this paper, we propose hierarchical multi-agent multi-armed bandit resource allocation for LEO constellation (mmRAL) by appropriately assigning available radio resources. LEOs are considered as collaborative multiple macro-agents attempting unknown trials of various actions of micro-agents of respective resources, asymptotically achieving suitable allocation with only throughput information. In simulations, we evaluate mmRAL in various cases of LEO deployment, serving numbers of users and LEOs, hardware cost and outage probability. Benefited by efficient and resilient allocation, the proposed mmRAL system is capable of operating in homogeneous or heterogeneous orbital planes or constellations, achieving the highest throughput performance compared to the existing benchmarks in open literature.
