Multi-Agent DRL for V2X Resource Allocation: Disentangling Challenges and Benchmarking Solutions

arXiv:2603.06607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has emerged as a promising approach for radio resource allocation (RRA) in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) networks. However, the multifaceted challenges inherent to multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) - including non-stationarity, coordination difficulty, large action spaces, partial observability, and limited robustness and generalization - are often intertwined, making it difficult to understand their individual impact on performance in vehicular environments. Moreover, existing studies typically rely on different baseline MARL algorithms, and a systematic comparison of their capabilities in addressing specific challenges in C-V2X RRA remains lacking. In this paper, we bridge this gap by formulating C-V2X RRA as a sequence of multi-agent interference games with progressively increasing complexity, each designed to isolate a key MARL challenge. Based on these formulations, we construct a suite of learning tasks that enable controlled evaluation of performance degradation attributable to each challenge. We further develop large-scale, diverse training and testing datasets using SUMO-generated highway traces to capture a wide range of vehicular topologies and corresponding interference patterns. Through extensive benchmarking of representative MARL algorithms, we identify policy robustness and generalization across diverse vehicular topologies as the dominant challenge in C-V2X RRA. We further show that, on the most challenging task, the best-performing actor-critic method outperforms the value-based approach by 42%. By emphasizing the need for zero-shot policy transfer to both seen and unseen topologies at runtime, and by open-sourcing the code, datasets, and interference-game benchmark suite, this work provides a systematic and reproducible foundation for evaluating and advancing MARL algorithms in vehicular networks.

Look Back to Reason Forward: Revisitable Memory for Long-Context LLM Agents

arXiv:2509.23040v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models face challenges in long-context question answering, where key evidence of a query may be dispersed across millions of tokens. Existing works equip large language models with a memory buffer that is dynamically updated via a linear document scan, also known as the "memorize while reading" methods. While this approach scales efficiently, it suffers from pruning of latent evidence, information loss through overwriting, and sparse reinforcement learning signals. To tackle these challenges, we present ReMemR1, which integrates the mechanism of memory retrieval into the memory update process, enabling the agent to selectively callback historical memories for non-linear reasoning. To further strengthen training, we propose a multi-level reward design, which combines final-answer rewards with dense, step-level signals that guide effective memory use. Together, these contributions mitigate information degradation, improve supervision, and support complex multi-hop reasoning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ReMemR1 significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on long-context question answering while incurring negligible computational overhead, validating its ability to trade marginal cost for robust long-context reasoning.

ST-EVO: Towards Generative Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Multi-Agent Communication Topologies

arXiv:2602.14681v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-powered Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have emerged as an effective approach towards collaborative intelligence, and have attracted wide research interests. Among them, ``self-evolving'' MAS, treated as a more flexible and powerful technical route, can construct task-adaptive workflows or communication topologies, instead of relying on a predefined static structue template. Current self-evolving MAS mainly focus on Spatial Evolving or Temporal Evolving paradigm, which only considers the single dimension of evolution and does not fully incentivize LLMs' collaborative capability. In this work, we start from a novel Spatio-Temporal perspective by proposing ST-EVO, which supports dialogue-wise communication scheduling with a compact yet powerful flow-matching based Scheduler. To make precise Spatio-Temporal scheduling, ST-EVO can also perceive the uncertainty of MAS, and possesses self-feedback ability to learn from accumulated experience. Extensive experiments on nine benchmarks demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of ST-EVO, achieving about 5%--25% accuracy improvement.
