Graph Neural Networks for Resource Allocation in Integrated Sensing and Communication

The paper introduces GNN-ISAC, a graph neural network–based power allocation algorithm for vehicular integrated sensing and communication networks. It models two edge types—inter‑provider interference and intra‑provider power‑budget sharing—to maximize communication sum‑rate while meeting sensing SINR constraints. Trained without labels via a sensing‑penalized sum‑rate loss, GNN‑ISAC achieves near‑optimal performance compared to WMMSE, with lower sensing‑link violations, reduced computation, and better generalization to larger networks.

GREAT: A Graph Edge Attention Network for the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Asymmetric Costs

The paper introduces GREAT, a Graph Edge Attention Network that operates directly on edge space to handle asymmetric energy costs in the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (EVRP). Integrated into a reinforcement learning framework, GREAT jointly optimizes routing and charging decisions, outperforming a strong HGS-based heuristic by up to 8.78% in energy savings and reducing runtime by a factor of 60. It also shows competitive performance against a custom adaptive large neighborhood search and achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on other asymmetric routing benchmarks such as TSP, CVRP, and Orienteering.

AI-Driven Real-Time Relay Optimisation in Smart Urban NR-V2X Networks via Learning-to-Optimise Graph Neural Networks

The paper introduces an AI-driven Learning-to-Optimise framework that uses Graph Neural Networks to select real‑time multi‑hop relays in NR‑V2X networks for smart cities. By modelling the vehicular network as a graph and training a GINE model with MILP‑derived optimal decisions, the method achieves near‑optimal connectivity, improving connectivity by up to 11.3% and speeding up computation by up to 100×. This enables scalable, real‑time network control suitable for Industry 4.0 and smart‑city deployments.

MANET-GNN: Learned Decentralized Optimization of Power Allocation in Multi-Channel MANETs

The paper introduces MANET-GNN, a message‑passing graph neural network designed to perform decentralized power allocation in dynamic, multi‑hop, multi‑channel mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It formulates a constrained throughput maximization problem that includes various traffic patterns such as unicast, multicast, and convergecast, and uses this as an unsupervised training objective. MANET‑GNN operates with only local, possibly noisy channel state information and a limited number of neighbor exchanges, achieving performance comparable to centralized solutions while scaling across different network topologies and sizes.

FedPGT: Progressive Gradient Transmission for Vehicular Federated Learning over Time-Varying Channels

FedPGT introduces a progressive gradient transmission scheme for vehicular federated learning over time‑varying channels, where vehicles send high‑magnitude gradient entries according to instantaneous channel conditions. The authors derive a convergence bound showing diminishing returns governed by a power‑law decay, and formulate a stochastic optimization problem that is solved via a Lyapunov drift‑plus‑penalty approach with per‑slot surrogate variables. A low‑complexity resource allocation algorithm is proposed, and experiments on CIFAR‑10 and Argoverse demonstrate a 3.65% accuracy gain and a 12.66% reduction in displacement error compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines.

Uncertainty-Aware Federated Learning for Joint Communication and Computation in XR Systems

The paper proposes an AI-native, robust network for sixth-generation (6G) communication systems, where multiple base stations serve extended reality (XR) devices. It introduces a distributed deep learning approach that jointly manages transmit power, computing power, and computation allocation while accounting for uncertainties in channel and computing states. The method uses a deep neural network trained centrally or via federated learning, injecting uncertainty samples after the DNN output to minimize worst-case delay under power and computation constraints, achieving near-centralized performance with improved privacy and scalability.
