Traffic-Adaptive Per-Hop Multipath Routing in Multi-Hop UAV Networks

In uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-relayed mobile edge computing (MEC) networks, computation tasks generate traffic with diverse latency requirements and data sizes. Routing decisions therefore need to adapt to both traffic characteristics and changing network conditions. Compared with single-path routing, multipath routing is better suited to such heterogeneous traffic because it provides multiple forwarding options and enables flexible traffic splitting. However, conventional multipath routing usually splits traffic over predefined end-to-end paths, making it difficult to respond quickly to link fluctuations and topology changes in UAV networks. To address this issue, we propose a traffic-adaptive per-hop multipath routing method for multi-hop UAV networks, in which each UAV dynamically distributes traffic among multiple candidate next hops. We formulate the routing problem to improve the on-time packet delivery ratio while reducing the packet loss ratio, and model it as a decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (Dec-POMDP). To solve this problem, we develop a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithm, termed Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization with Dirichlet Modeling (MAPPO-DM). MAPPO-DM follows the centralized-training-and-decentralized-execution framework and models continuous traffic-splitting actions using a Dirichlet distribution. Simulation results show that MAPPO-DM outperforms the baseline methods and maintains robust performance under various network conditions.

Multipath Routing for Multi-Hop UAV Networks

Multi-hop uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) networks are promising to extend the terrestrial network coverage. Existing multi-hop UAV networks employ a single routing path by selecting the next-hop forwarding node in a hop-by-hop manner, which leads to local congestion and increases traffic delays. In this paper, a novel traffic-adaptive multipath routing method is proposed for multi-hop UAV networks, which enables each UAV to dynamically split and forward traffic flows across multiple next-hop neighbors, thus meeting latency requirements of diverse traffic flows in dynamic mobile environments. An on-time packet delivery ratio maximization problem is formulated to determine the traffic splitting ratios at each hop. This sequential decision-making problem is modeled as a decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (Dec-POMDP). To solve this Dec-POMDP, a novel multi-agent deep reinforcement leaning (MADRL) algorithm, termed Independent Proximal Policy Optimization with Dirichlet Modeling (IPPO-DM), is developed. Specifically, the IPPO serves as the core optimization framework, where the Dirichlet distribution is leveraged to parameterize a continuous stochastic policy network on the probability simplex, inherently ensuring feasible traffic splitting ratios. Simulation results demonstrate that IPPO-DM outperforms benchmark schemes in terms of both delivery latency guarantee and packet loss performance.

AgentDNS: A Root Domain Naming System for LLM Agents

The rapid evolution of Large Language Model (LLM) agents has highlighted critical challenges in cross-vendor service discovery, interoperability, and communication. Existing protocols like model context protocol and agent-to-agent protocol have made significant strides in standardizing interoperability between agents and tools, as well as communication among multi-agents. However, there remains a lack of standardized protocols and solutions for service discovery across different agent and tool vendors. In this paper, we propose AgentDNS, a root domain naming and service discovery system designed to enable LLM agents to autonomously discover, resolve, and securely invoke third-party agent and tool services across organizational and technological boundaries. Inspired by the principles of the traditional DNS, AgentDNS introduces a structured mechanism for service registration, semantic service discovery, secure invocation, and unified billing. We detail the architecture, core functionalities, and use cases of AgentDNS, demonstrating its potential to streamline multi-agent collaboration in real-world scenarios. The source code will be published on https://github.com/agentdns.
