A Miniaturized Semantic Segmentation Method for Remote Sensing ImageShou-Yu Chen, Guang-Sheng Chen, Wei-Peng Jing
In order to save the memory, we propose a miniaturization method for neural network to reduce the parameter quantity existed in remote sensing (RS) image semantic segmentation model. The compact convolution optimization method is first used for standard U-Net to reduce the weights quantity. With the purpose of decreasing model performance loss caused by miniaturization and based on the characteristics of remote sensing image, fewer down-samplings and improved cascade atrous convolution are then used to improve the performance of the miniaturized U-Net. Compared with U-Net, our proposed Micro-Net not only achieves 29.26 times model compression, but also basically maintains the performance unchanged on the public dataset. We provide a Keras and Tensorflow hybrid programming implementation for our model: https://github.com/Isnot2bad/Micro-Net

Spatial-Temporal Learning-Based Distributed Routing for Dynamic LEO Satellite NetworksPo-Heng Chou, Chiapin Wang, Shou-Yu Chen et al.
In this paper, we propose a spatial-temporal learning-based distributed routing framework for dynamic Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, where graph attention networks (GAT) and long short-term memory (LSTM) are integrated within a deep Q-network (DQN)-based architecture to enable distributed and adaptive routing decisions based on local observations. The routing problem is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) to address partial observability under dynamic topology and time-varying traffic. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms conventional and learning-based routing schemes in terms of throughput, packet loss, queue length, and end-to-end delay, while achieving proactive congestion avoidance with up to 23.26% queue reduction. In addition, the proposed approach maintains low computational overhead with negligible carbon emissions, demonstrating its efficiency from a Green AI perspective.

A Policy-Driven DRL Framework for System-Level Tradeoff Control in NR-U/Wi-Fi CoexistencePo-Heng Chou, Yi-Fang Yu, Shou-Yu Chen et al.
The coexistence of NR-U and Wi-Fi in unlicensed spectrum introduces a system-level resource coordination problem, where heterogeneous channel access mechanisms lead to a significant imbalance in spectrum utilization and degraded Wi-Fi performance. To address this challenge, we propose a policy-driven deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for adaptive TXOP control, in which the coexistence process is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP) and a deep Q-network (DQN) learns control policies through online interaction. A key contribution is the introduction of a policy layer via reward design, enabling explicit control of system-level tradeoffs among fairness, throughput, and quality of service (QoS). Three policies, namely absolute fairness, moderate fairness, and utility-based fairness, are developed to achieve different operating points. Simulation results show that the proposed framework achieves a Jain fairness index above 0.9 under strict fairness control. Compared to absolute fairness, moderate fairness improves aggregate throughput by 68.22%, while the utility-based policy further enhances utility by 177.6%. These results demonstrate that policy-driven control provides a flexible and effective solution for managing tradeoffs in heterogeneous coexistence networks.
