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.

Scientific Objectives of the Xue-shan-mu-chang 15-meter Submillimeter Telescope

Submillimeter astronomy is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Universe by revealing cosmic phenomena hidden from optical and near-infrared observations, particularly those associated with interstellar dust, molecular gas, and star formation. The Xue-shan-mu-chang 15-meter submillimeter telescope (XSMT-15m), to be constructed at a premier high-altitude site (4813 m) in Qinghai, China, marks a major milestone for Chinese astronomy, establishing the China mainland's first independently developed, world-class submillimeter facility. Equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, XSMT-15m will address a diverse range of frontier scientific questions spanning extragalactic astronomy, Galactic structure, time-domain astrophysics, and astrochemistry. In synergy with current and forthcoming observatories, XSMT-15m will illuminate the formation and evolution of galaxies, unravel the physical and chemical processes shaping the interstellar medium, and explore transient phenomena in the submillimeter regime. These capabilities will advance our understanding across extragalactic astronomy, Galactic ecology, astrochemistry, and time-domain astrophysics, inaugurating a new era for submillimeter research in China and the northern hemisphere.

Joint Semantic Transmission and Resource Allocation for Intelligent Computation Task Offloading in MEC Systems

Mobile edge computing (MEC) enables the provision of high-reliability and low-latency applications by offering computation and storage resources in close proximity to end-users. Different from traditional computation task offloading in MEC systems, the large data volume and complex task computation of artificial intelligence involved intelligent computation task offloading have increased greatly. To address this challenge, we propose a MEC system for multiple base stations and multiple terminals, which exploits semantic transmission and early exit of inference. Based on this, we investigate a joint semantic transmission and resource allocation problem for maximizing system reward combined with analysis of semantic transmission and intelligent computation process. To solve the formulated problem, we decompose it into communication resource allocation subproblem, semantic transmission subproblem, and computation capacity allocation subproblem. Then, we use 3D matching and convex optimization method to solve subproblems based on the block coordinate descent (BCD) framework. The optimized feasible solutions are derived from an efficient BCD based joint semantic transmission and resource allocation algorithm in MEC systems. Our simulation demonstrates that: 1) The proposed algorithm significantly improves the delay performance for MEC systems compared with benchmarks; 2) The design of transmission mode and early exit of inference greatly increases system reward during offloading; and 3) Our proposed system achieves efficient utilization of resources from the perspective of system reward in the intelligent scenario.

Joint Computing Offloading and Resource Allocation for Classification Intelligent Tasks in MEC Systems

Mobile edge computing (MEC) enables low-latency and high-bandwidth applications by bringing computation and data storage closer to end-users. Intelligent computing is an important application of MEC, where computing resources are used to solve intelligent task-related problems based on task requirements. However, efficiently offloading computing and allocating resources for intelligent tasks in MEC systems is a challenging problem due to complex interactions between task requirements and MEC resources. To address this challenge, we investigate joint computing offloading and resource allocation for intelligent tasks in MEC systems. Our goal is to optimize system utility by jointly considering computing accuracy and task delay to achieve maximum system performance. We focus on classification intelligence tasks and formulate an optimization problem that considers both the accuracy requirements of tasks and the parallel computing capabilities of MEC systems. To solve the optimization problem, we decompose it into three subproblems: subcarrier allocation, computing capacity allocation, and compression offloading. We use convex optimization and successive convex approximation to derive closed-form expressions for the subcarrier allocation, offloading decisions, computing capacity, and compressed ratio. Based on our solutions, we design an efficient computing offloading and resource allocation algorithm for intelligent tasks in MEC systems. Our simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm significantly improves the performance of intelligent tasks in MEC systems and achieves a flexible trade-off between system revenue and cost considering intelligent tasks compared with the benchmarks.

Dynamic Multi-time Scale User Admission and Resource Allocation for Semantic Extraction in MEC Systems

This paper investigates the semantic extraction task-oriented dynamic multi-time scale user admission and resourceallocation in mobile edge computing (MEC) systems. Amid prevalence artifi cial intelligence applications in various industries,the offloading of semantic extraction tasks which are mainlycomposed of convolutional neural networks of computer vision isa great challenge for communication bandwidth and computing capacity allocation in MEC systems. Considering the stochasticnature of the semantic extraction tasks, we formulate a stochastic optimization problem by modeling it as the dynamic arrival of tasks in the temporal domain. We jointly optimize the system revenue and cost which are represented as user admission in the long term and resource allocation in the short term respectively. To handle the proposed stochastic optimization problem, we decompose it into short-time-scale subproblems and a long-time-scale subproblem by using the Lyapunov optimization technique. After that, the short-time-scale optimization variables of resource allocation, including user association, bandwidth allocation, and computing capacity allocation are obtained in closed form. The user admission optimization on long-time scales is solved by a heuristic iteration method. Then, the multi-time scale user admission and resource allocation algorithm is proposed for dynamic semantic extraction task computing in MEC systems. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared with the benchmarks, the proposed algorithm improves the performance of user admission and resource allocation efficiently and achieves a flexible trade-off between system revenue and cost at multi-time scales and considering semantic extraction tasks.

With the popularity of intelligent applications in various industries, terminals increasingly need to offload intelligent computing tasks with complex demands to MEC servers for computing, which is a great challenge for bandwidth and computing capacity allocation in MEC systems. Considering the accuracy requirement of intelligent computing tasks, we formulate an optimization problem of computing offloading and semantic compression. We jointly optimize the system utility which are represented as computing accuracy and task delay respectively to acquire the optimized system utility. To solve the proposed optimization problem, we decompose it into computing capacity allocation subproblem and compression offloading subproblem and obtain solutions through convex optimization and successive convex approximation. After that, the offloading decisions, computing capacity and compressed ratio are obtained in closed forms. We design the computing offloading and semantic compression algorithm for intelligent computing tasks in MEC systems then. Simulation results represent that our algorithm converges quickly and acquires better performance and resource utilization efficiency through the trend with total number of users and computing capacity compared with benchmarks.
