Abstract

Despite prevailing concerns that the current Internet interdomain routing system will not scale to meet the needs of the 21st century global Internet, networking research has not yet led to the construction of a new routing architecture with satisfactory and mathematically provable scalability characteristics. Worse, continuing empirical trends of the existing routing and topology structure of the Internet are alarming: the foundational principles of the current routing and addressing architecture are an inherently bad match for the naturally evolving structure of Internet interdomain topology. We are fortunate that a sister discipline, theory of distributed computation, has developed routing algorithms that offer promising potential for genuinely scalable routing on realistic Internet-like topologies. Indeed, there are many recent breakthroughs in the area of compact routing, which has been shown to drastically outperform, in terms of efficiency and scalability, even the boldest proposals developed in networking research. Many open questions remain, but we believe the applicability of compact routing techniques to Internet interdomain routing is a research area whose potential payoff for the future of networking is too high to ignore.

PriorityFEC: Deadline-Aware Streaming FEC for KV-Cache Handoff in Edge Multi-Agent Systems

Collaborative edge large language model (LLM) systems often require repeated prefill computation when task contexts are transferred between agents. Reusing previously computed key--value (KV) caches can eliminate this overhead, but requires KV-cache delivery before the receiving agent begins decoding. Under strict deadlines and unreliable edge links, complete KV cache transfer may be infeasible, making the timely delivery of useful KV information critical. This paper proposes PriorityFEC, a utility-aware KV-cache handoff scheme that combines prioritized source transmission with adaptive loss recovery. PriorityFEC first organizes KV blocks into a utility-aware source queue to prioritize important information. It then employs ACK-sliding Streaming FEC and a lightweight Double Deep Q-Network (Double-DQN) scheduler to dynamically balance source delivery and repair transmission under deadline constraints. We implement PriorityFEC in a distributed edge LLM-serving prototype and evaluate it using Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct across multiple workloads. Experimental results demonstrate that PriorityFEC preserves more useful KV information and achieves substantially higher task accuracy than competing transport schemes, particularly when the deadline is insufficient to deliver the complete KV cache.

Computation-Efficient Aerial-Marine Integrated Networks for Search and Rescue via Cooperative HAPS, UAVs, and MASSs

In this paper, we propose an aerial-marine integrated network architecture tailored for maritime search and rescue (MSAR) operations, where a high altitude platform station (HAPS) and maritime autonomous surface ships (MASSs) are equipped with edge servers, providing computing services for surveillance uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). These UAVs generate substantial volumes of computation-intensive and delay sensitive tasks, some of which can be strategically offloaded to both MASSs and HAPSs for distributed processing. We formulate the joint task offloading and resource allocation as a mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) to minimize the system computation overhead (CO), quantified by a weighted sum of task completion time and energy consumption. Given the stochastic nature of task arrivals from UAVs and the dynamic characteristics of marine channel conditions, we employ a two-stage optimization to decompose the problem into four tractable subproblems, i.e., 1) edge server selection, 2) transmission power allocation, 3) edge computing resource allocation, and 4) local computation resource allocation. In stage I, we optimize the edge server selection via many-to-one matching. In stage II, we determine the transmission power of each UAV with quasi-convex optimization and solve the edge computing and local computing resource allocation subproblems via a projected gradient descent method and convex optimization, respectively. Simulation results validate that the proposed scheme can achieve superior system performance over benchmark schemes.

Age of Information for Power-Saving Devices with DRX Mechanism

Reducing the power consumption of User Equipment (UE) has always been a crucial issue in communication systems. As a result, Discontinuous reception (DRX) is introduced in today's New Radio (NR) networks as a power-saving strategy. In addition, the variety of low latency applications in 6G makes the issue of maintaining data freshness increasingly important. This paper aims to study the relationship between freshness and power-saving. To capture the information freshness, we use Age of Information (AoI) as the performance metric. To our best knowledge, unlike previous studies focusing on power saving and delay trade-offs, this is the first study considering the impact of DRX on AoI. We solve the closed-form solution of the peak average AoI with the DRX mechanism. Moreover, we propose a parameters adjustment strategy. Based on the simulation validation, our proposed strategy can enable the UE to keep the AoI close to the theoretical lower bound AoI while achieving high power-saving efficiency.
