HMS-SCP: Task-Oriented Multi-Scale Semantic Communication for V2X Cooperative Perception

The paper introduces HMS‑SCP, a hierarchical multi‑scale semantic‑aware cooperative perception framework for V2X communication. It uses a spatial importance predictor to select task‑relevant grid elements at multiple scales and maps them directly into complex‑valued symbols for joint source‑channel coding, achieving ultra‑low symbol rates and noise resilience. Experiments on OPV2V and DAIR‑V2X show that HMS‑SCP maintains high‑confidence far‑field detection with sub‑16 ms latency even under severe Rayleigh fading and extreme compression.

FedCKA: Representation-Guided Layer Personalization for Federated 3D Perception Across Driving Domains

FedCKA introduces a Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA)-based method for federated 3D perception that dynamically balances personalization and globalization. By computing layer-wise feature similarities between local client models and a global consensus model, FedCKA generates client‑specific aggregation masks to selectively share representation‑consistent layers. Experiments on a unified multi‑domain nuScenes benchmark demonstrate that FedCKA surpasses established federated baselines, improving average NDS by 7 percentage points.

VeriFuse: Bounded Vision-Language Arbitration and Reason-Guided Refinement for Cooperative 3D Perception

VeriFuse is a bounded arbitration framework that integrates vision‑language models (VLMs) into vehicle‑infrastructure cooperative 3D perception. Each agent first generates independent detections, then VeriFuse creates a unified candidate pool of geometric proposals and cross‑source hypotheses. A frozen VLM selects among three actions—SELECT, REFINE, or REJECT—to resolve ambiguity and produce final 3D detections, achieving strong AP50/AP70 scores on the DAIR‑V2X dataset while keeping vehicle‑side BEV AP50 drop minimal under delay.
