The paper presents energy‑efficient spiking neural network (SNN) architectures for sensing‑aided beam prediction in millimeter‑wave systems, comparing them with conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs) across position‑only, vision‑only, and multimodal inputs. While compact ANNs outperform SNNs for position‑only data, SNNs achieve higher accuracy than ANNs for vision and multimodal sensing at comparable or lower energy costs, with the multimodal SNN reaching 58.08% top‑1 accuracy—an 18.11‑percentage‑point improvement over the nearest‑energy ANN. The study also finds that SNN accuracy is constrained by binary inter‑layer communication rather than model size.

The paper introduces a spike‑aware, gradient‑based mixed‑precision quantization framework for Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), which assigns bit‑widths adaptively using first‑order gradient information. This approach avoids the memory and computational overhead of Hessian‑based methods like HAWQ‑V2 and is evaluated on VGG, ResNet, and Vision Transformer architectures across CIFAR‑10/100, ImageNet, and DVS‑CIFAR‑10 datasets. On ResNet‑34 with ImageNet, the method attains 73.30% accuracy at 4.78× compression, matching HAWQ‑V2 while reducing memory usage by 2.31× and bit‑allocation runtime by 100×, and it demonstrates energy‑efficient deployment without performance loss.

Spikformer V2 introduces a Spiking Self‑Attention (SSA) mechanism that removes softmax and uses spike‑based Query, Key, and Value to capture sparse visual features efficiently. It also adds a Spiking Convolutional Stem (SCS) and employs self‑supervised learning (masking and reconstruction) to pre‑train the model before fine‑tuning on ImageNet. The result is the first spiking neural network to surpass 80 % accuracy on ImageNet, achieving 81.10 % with a 172 M‑parameter, 16‑layer model in just one time step.
The paper evaluates a spiking version of the MoveNet architecture, called S-MoveNet-Lightning, for autonomous spacecraft pose estimation. Using the RAPTOR dataset, it compares the spiking model to the standard MoveNet-Lightning, finding that the spiking version requires on average 2.2 times fewer multiplication and accumulation operations on FPGA platforms with AMD Deep Learning Processor Units. The study highlights balanced advantages in computational resources and architectural settings for spiking U‑Net‑like architectures in embedded, event‑driven space applications.
