Resource Allocation in Hybrid Radio-Optical IoT Networks using GNN with Multi-task Learning

This paper proposes the Dual-Graph Embedding with Transformer (DGET) framework, a supervised multi-task learning architecture combining Graph Neural Networks and Transformers, to efficiently solve the NP-hard resource allocation problem in hybrid RF-OWC IoT networks, achieving near-optimal scheduling with reduced Age of Information and lower computational complexity compared to traditional optimization methods.

A Secure Splitting and Acceleration Strategy for TCP/QUIC in Interplanetary Networks

This paper proposes PEPspace, a secure transport acceleration strategy for interplanetary networks that utilizes a Non-Transparent Secure Proxy (NTSP) architecture to split encrypted connections and combines rate-based congestion control, adaptive forward error correction, and optimized flow control to achieve stable, high-throughput, and low-latency data delivery across extreme-delay links.

Where Do Flow Semantics Reside? A Protocol-Native Tabular Pretraining Paradigm for Encrypted Traffic Classification

This paper addresses the failure of byte-sequence-based masked modeling in encrypted traffic classification by identifying a mismatch in inductive bias and proposing FlowSem-MAE, a protocol-native tabular masked autoencoder that leverages field-specific semantics and temporal patterns to significantly outperform existing methods with substantially less labeled data.

Adaptive RAN Slicing Control via Reward-Free Self-Finetuning Agents

This paper proposes a novel self-finetuning framework that enables Generative AI agents to autonomously learn continuous control for dynamic Radio Access Network slicing by distilling long-horizon experiences into model parameters via a bi-perspective reflection mechanism, thereby outperforming traditional Reinforcement Learning and standard LLM-based agents in sample efficiency and multi-objective optimization without relying on handcrafted reward signals.
