Long-Tailed 3D Point Cloud Dataset Distillation

Dataset distillation compresses large-scale datasets into compact synthetic sets while preserving their training utility, enabling efficient 3D point cloud training. Current point cloud dataset distillation methods only tackle geometric and representation challenges while ignoring the distributional imbalance prevalent in point cloud datasets where both training and test splits follow long-tailed class distributions. To our knowledge, we present the first study on long-tailed point cloud dataset distillation. Rather than focusing primarily on geometric and representation properties or simply constructing a class-balanced synthetic set, our framework explicitly accounts for long-tailed class distributions via two core modules. First, we design Adaptive Synthetic Budgeting to allocate class-wise synthetic budgets according to class quantity and the expected benefit of additional synthetic samples. Given the allocated budgets, we further design 3D Long-Tailed Distribution Matching to optimize synthetic point clouds through Global-Local Feature Alignment and Prior-Aware Supervision. The former preserves both global class distributions and diverse intra-class structures, while the latter provides class-dependent expert supervision to keep tail-class samples recognizable while maintaining diverse head-class patterns. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, lifting classification accuracy by 7.0 points on ShapeNet55 against state-of-the-art methods.

Prompt-Driven Low-Altitude Edge Intelligence: Modular Agents and Generative Reasoning

The large artificial intelligence models (LAMs) show strong capabilities in perception, reasoning, and multi-modal understanding, and can enable advanced capabilities in low-altitude edge intelligence. However, the deployment of LAMs at the edge remains constrained by some fundamental limitations. First, tasks are rigidly tied to specific models, limiting the flexibility. Besides, the computational and memory demands of full-scale LAMs exceed the capacity of most edge devices. Moreover, the current inference pipelines are typically static, making it difficult to respond to real-time changes of tasks. To address these challenges, we propose a prompt-to-agent edge cognition framework (P2AECF), enabling the flexible, efficient, and adaptive edge intelligence. Specifically, P2AECF transforms high-level semantic prompts into executable reasoning workflows through three key mechanisms. First, the prompt-defined cognition parses task intent into abstract and model-agnostic representations. Second, the agent-based modular execution instantiates these tasks using lightweight and reusable cognitive agents dynamically selected based on current resource conditions. Third, the diffusion-controlled inference planning adaptively constructs and refines execution strategies by incorporating runtime feedback and system context. In addition, we illustrate the framework through a representative low-altitude intelligent network use case, showing its ability to deliver adaptive, modular, and scalable edge intelligence for real-time low-altitude aerial collaborations.

Hierarchical Task Offloading and Trajectory Optimization in Low-Altitude Intelligent Networks Via Auction and Diffusion-based MARL

The low-altitude intelligent networks (LAINs) emerge as a promising architecture for delivering low-latency and energy-efficient edge intelligence in dynamic and infrastructure-limited environments. By integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerial base stations, and terrestrial base stations, LAINs can support mission-critical applications such as disaster response, environmental monitoring, and real-time sensing. However, these systems face key challenges, including energy-constrained UAVs, stochastic task arrivals, and heterogeneous computing resources. To address these issues, we propose an integrated air-ground collaborative network and formulate a time-dependent integer nonlinear programming problem that jointly optimizes UAV trajectory planning and task offloading decisions. The problem is challenging to solve due to temporal coupling among decision variables. Therefore, we design a hierarchical learning framework with two timescales. At the large timescale, a Vickrey-Clarke-Groves auction mechanism enables the energy-aware and incentive-compatible trajectory assignment. At the small timescale, we propose the diffusion-heterogeneous-agent proximal policy optimization, a generative multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm that embeds latent diffusion models into actor networks. Each UAV samples actions from a Gaussian prior and refines them via observation-conditioned denoising, enhancing adaptability and policy diversity. Extensive simulations show that our framework outperforms baselines in energy efficiency, task success rate, and convergence performance.

Robust and Secure Computation Offloading and Trajectory Optimization for Multi-UAV MEC Against Aerial Eavesdropper

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based multi-access edge computing (MEC) appears as a popular paradigm to reduce task processing latency. However, the secure offloading is an important issue when occurring aerial eavesdropping. Besides, the potential uncertainties in practical applications and flexible trajectory optimizations of UAVs pose formidable challenges for realizing robust offloading. In this paper, we consider the aerial secure MEC network including ground users, service unmanned aerial vehicles (S-UAVs) integrated with edge servers, and malicious UAVs overhearing transmission links. To deal with the task computation complexities, which are characterized as uncertainties, a robust problem is formulated with chance constraints. The energy cost is minimized by optimizing the connections, trajectories of S-UAVs and offloading ratios. Then, the proposed non-linear problem is tackled via the distributionally robust optimization and conditional value-at-risk mechanism, which is further transformed into the second order cone programming forms. Moreover, we decouple the reformulated problem and design the successive convex approximation for S-UAV trajectories. The global algorithm is designed to solve the sub-problems in a block coordinate decent manner. Finally, extensive simulations and numerical analyses are conducted to verify the robustness of the proposed algorithms, with just 2\% more energy cost compared with the ideal circumstance.

Joint Computation Offloading and Resource Allocation for Uncertain Maritime MEC via Cooperation of UAVs and Vessels

The computation demands from the maritime Internet of Things (MIoT) increase rapidly in recent years, and the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and vessels based multi-access edge computing (MEC) can fulfill these MIoT requirements. However, the uncertain maritime tasks present significant challenges of inefficient computation offloading and resource allocation. In this paper, we focus on the maritime computation offloading and resource allocation through the cooperation of UAVs and vessels, with consideration of uncertain tasks. Specifically, we propose a cooperative MEC framework for computation offloading and resource allocation, including MIoT devices, UAVs and vessels. Then, we formulate the optimization problem to minimize the total execution time. As for the uncertain MIoT tasks, we leverage Lyapunov optimization to tackle the unpredictable task arrivals and varying computational resource availability. By converting the long-term constraints into short-term constraints, we obtain a set of small-scale optimization problems. Further, considering the heterogeneity of actions and resources of UAVs and vessels, we reformulate the small-scale optimization problem into a Markov game (MG). Moreover, a heterogeneous-agent soft actor-critic is proposed to sequentially update various neural networks and effectively solve the MG problem. Finally, simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness in addressing computational offloading and resource allocation.

Generative AI-Enhanced Cooperative MEC of UAVs and Ground Stations for Unmanned Surface Vehicles

The increasing deployment of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) require computational support and coverage in applications such as maritime search and rescue. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can offer low-cost, flexible aerial services, and ground stations (GSs) can provide powerful supports, which can cooperate to help the USVs in complex scenarios. However, the collaboration between UAVs and GSs for USVs faces challenges of task uncertainties, USVs trajectory uncertainties, heterogeneities, and limited computational resources. To address these issues, we propose a cooperative UAV and GS based robust multi-access edge computing framework to assist USVs in completing computational tasks. Specifically, we formulate the optimization problem of joint task offloading and UAV trajectory to minimize the total execution time, which is in the form of mixed integer nonlinear programming and NP-hard to tackle. Therefore, we propose the algorithm of generative artificial intelligence-enhanced heterogeneous agent proximal policy optimization (GAI-HAPPO). The proposed algorithm integrates GAI models to enhance the actor network ability to model complex environments and extract high-level features, thereby allowing the algorithm to predict uncertainties and adapt to dynamic conditions. Additionally, GAI stabilizes the critic network, addressing the instability of multi-agent reinforcement learning approaches. Finally, extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing benchmark methods, thus highlighting the potentials in tackling intricate, cross-domain issues in the considered scenarios.

Cooperative Cognitive Dynamic System in UAV Swarms: Reconfigurable Mechanism and Framework

As the demands for immediate and effective responses increase in both civilian and military domains, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms emerge as effective solutions, in which multiple cooperative UAVs can work together to achieve specific goals. However, how to manage such complex systems to ensure real-time adaptability lack sufficient researches. Hence, in this paper, we propose the cooperative cognitive dynamic system (CCDS), to optimize the management for UAV swarms. CCDS leverages a hierarchical and cooperative control structure that enables real-time data processing and decision. Accordingly, CCDS optimizes the UAV swarm management via dynamic reconfigurability and adaptive intelligent optimization. In addition, CCDS can be integrated with the biomimetic mechanism to efficiently allocate tasks for UAV swarms. Further, the distributed coordination of CCDS ensures reliable and resilient control, thus enhancing the adaptability and robustness. Finally, the potential challenges and future directions are analyzed, to provide insights into managing UAV swarms in dynamic heterogeneous networking.

Distributionally Robust Chance-Constrained Optimization for Hierarchical UAV-based MEC

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is regarded as a promising technology in the sixth-generation communication. However, the antenna gain is always affected by the environment when unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are served as MEC platforms, resulting in unexpected channel errors. In order to deal with the problem and reduce the power consumption in the UAV-based MEC, we jointly optimize the access scheme and power allocation in the hierarchical UAV-based MEC. Specifically, UAVs are deployed in the lower layer to collect data from ground users. Moreover, a UAV with powerful computation ability is deployed in the upper layer to assist with computing. The goal is to guarantee the quality of service and minimize the total power consumption. We consider the errors caused by various perturbations in realistic circumstances and formulate a distributionally robust chance-constrained optimization problem with an uncertainty set. The problem with chance constraints is intractable. To tackle this issue, we utilize the conditional value-at-risk method to reformulate the problem into a semidefinite programming form. Then, a joint algorithm for access scheme and power allocation is designed. Finally, we conduct simulations to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

SFC Deployment in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks Based on Matching Game

The space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) is dynamic and flexible, which can support transmitting data in environments lacking ground communication facilities. However, the nodes of SAGIN are heterogeneous and it is intractable to share the resources to provide multiple services. Therefore, in this paper, we consider using network function virtualization technology to handle the problem of agile resource allocation. In particular, the service function chains (SFCs) are constructed to deploy multiple virtual network functions of different tasks. To depict the dynamic model of SAGIN, we propose the reconfigurable time extension graph. Then, an optimization problem is formulated to maximize the number of completed tasks, i.e., the successful deployed SFC. It is a mixed integer linear programming problem, which is hard to solve in limited time complexity. Hence, we transform it as a many-to-one two-sided matching game problem. Then, we design a Gale-Shapley based algorithm. Finally, via abundant simulations, it is verified that the designed algorithm can effectively deploy SFCs with efficient resource utilization.

Computation Offloading for Uncertain Marine Tasks by Cooperation of UAVs and Vessels

With the continuous increment of maritime applications, the development of marine networks for data offloading becomes necessary. However, the limited maritime network resources are very difficult to satisfy real-time demands. Besides, how to effectively handle multiple compute-intensive tasks becomes another intractable issue. Hence, in this paper, we focus on the decision of maritime task offloading by the cooperation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and vessels. Specifically, we first propose a cooperative offloading framework, including the demands from marine Internet of Things (MIoTs) devices and resource providers from UAVs and vessels. Due to the limited energy and computation ability of UAVs, it is necessary to help better apply the vessels to computation offloading. Then, we formulate the studied problem into a Markov decision process, aiming to minimize the total execution time and energy cost. Then, we leverage Lyapunov optimization to convert the long-term constraints of the total execution time and energy cost into their short-term constraints, further yielding a set of per-time-slot optimization problems. Furthermore, we propose a Q-learning based approach to solve the short-term problem efficiently. Finally, simulation results are conducted to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
