Adaptive Multi-Discriminator WGAN Framework for Resource-Constrained Internet of Vehicles Using Reinforcement Learning and Game Theory

The paper proposes an adaptive multi‑discriminator Wasserstein GAN (MD‑WGAN) framework for Internet of Vehicles (IoV) that combines reinforcement learning and game‑theoretic coordination to manage resource allocation for distributed training. Roadside units host generators with Deep Q‑Network agents that select discriminator subsets and coordinate training epochs, while a unified objective links adversarial quality to resource efficiency, communication overhead, and latency. Experiments on real‑world NGSIM trajectory data show comparable prediction accuracy to state‑of‑the‑art GANs, with a 28% reduction in CPU usage and 6% reduction in memory usage, while maintaining competitive communication overhead and latency.

From Prior-Guided Heuristics to Deployable Agents: Accelerating Demonstration-Driven Reinforcement Learning for Deadline-Constrained Network Control

The paper proposes a deployment‑focused framework for deadline‑constrained network control, introducing the Effective Congestion (EC) metric family and Uniform Path Grouping (UPG) heuristic to better capture traffic urgency and balance load. It integrates these with a Multi‑Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning architecture (MADRL EC (p*)) that combines a distributed scheduler and a centralized RL router. A unified training objective merges live‑reward, pre‑collected‑reward, and policy‑imitation terms, leading to the Model‑Guided Annealed Reinforcement Learning (MGA‑RL) protocol built on DDPG, which generalizes offline‑to‑online learning for demonstration‑driven training.

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.

QoS-Aware Federated Learning for Multimodal In-Cabin Interaction in Smart Vehicles

The paper introduces FedQoS, an asynchronous federated learning framework designed for multimodal in‑cabin interaction in smart vehicles. It uses a two‑phase gating mechanism: a resource‑aware training gate that starts local learning only when sensing buffers and energy reserves meet safety thresholds, and a QoS‑aware transmission policy that gates uplink updates based on an efficiency score balancing model novelty, latency, and energy costs. Experiments on vehicular datasets show FedQoS achieves competitive personalized accuracy with only marginal loss compared to FedAvg, while reducing communication overhead by 76.7% and latency cost by 26.0%.
