Device-to-device (D2D) spectrum sharing in wireless communications is a challenging non-convex combinatorial optimization problem, involving entangled link scheduling and power control in a large-scale network. The state-of-the-art methods, either from a model-based or a data-driven perspective, exhibit certain limitations such as the critical need for channel state information (CSI) and/or a large number of (solved) instances (e.g., network layouts) as training samples. To advance this line of research, we propose a novel hybrid model/datadriven spectrum sharing mechanism with graph reinforcement learning for link scheduling (GRLinQ), injecting information theoretical insights into machine learning models, in such a way that link scheduling and power control can be solved in an intelligent yet explainable manner. Through an extensive set of experiments, GRLinQ demonstrates superior performance to the existing model-based and data-driven link scheduling and/or power control methods, with a relaxed requirement for CSI, a substantially reduced number of unsolved instances as training samples, a possible distributed deployment, reduced online/offline computational complexity, and more remarkably excellent scalability and generalizability over different network scenarios and system configurations.

While large language models (LLMs) show great potential in temporal reasoning, most existing work focuses heavily on enhancing performance, often neglecting the explainable reasoning processes underlying the results. To address this gap, we introduce a comprehensive benchmark covering a wide range of temporal granularities, designed to systematically evaluate LLMs' capabilities in explainable temporal reasoning. Furthermore, our findings reveal that LLMs struggle to deliver convincing explanations when relying solely on textual information. To address challenge, we propose GETER, a novel structure-aware generative framework that integrates Graph structures with text for Explainable TEmporal Reasoning. Specifically, we first leverage temporal knowledge graphs to develop a temporal encoder that captures structural information for the query. Subsequently, we introduce a structure-text prefix adapter to map graph structure features into the text embedding space. Finally, LLMs generate explanation text by seamlessly integrating the soft graph token with instruction-tuning prompt tokens. Experimental results indicate that GETER achieves state-of-the-art performance while also demonstrating its effectiveness as well as strong generalization capabilities.
