abstract = {The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites in 6G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) offers a promising paradigm for edge computing of Internet of Remote Things (IoRT). However, dynamic network conditions and shared LEO computing resources make task offloading and resource allocation challenging, particularly due to the coupling among multiple UAVs. In this paper, we investigate the UAV-LEO collaborative task offloading in edge computing for IoRT, which aims to jointly optimize the total energy consumption and task completion delay. To solve this problem, we adopt a Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (MADDPG) framework under the Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution (CTDE) paradigm. Specifically, centralized critics capture inter-UAV interactions, while decentralized actors enable efficient local decision making. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a more favorable trade-off between total energy consumption and task completion delay compared with other baseline schemes.},

abstract = {Cooperative perception enables connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to overcome the inherent limitations of single-agent sensing by sharing perceptual information through vehicular communications. However, existing intermediate-fusion approaches treat each transmission cycle independently, re-transmitting features for the entire scene regardless of how much has actually changed, resulting in significant bandwidth waste. We propose CacheComm, a motion-aware caching framework that exploits temporal redundancy in cooperative perception by utilizing an RSU as an intermediate feature cache. The RSU maintains an up-to-date feature map of its coverage area and uses lightweight motion detection to identify scene changes. It selectively updates the cached feature map and serve the cache to CAVs based on the motion map to save communication resources. Experiments show that our system saves 10% V2X communication load under sparse CAV and limited RSU range, and up to 77% with full RSU coverage. Our method can be easily expanded to cover more area to achieve more reduction on communication cost. Saved bandwidth can be used to transmit more critical information or further increase the perception range for a CAV.},
