Network-Optimised Spiking Neural Network (NOS) Scheduling for 6G O-RAN: Spectral Margin and Delay-Tail ControlMuhammad Bilal, Xiaolong Xu
This work presents a Network-Optimised Spiking (NOS) delay-aware scheduler for 6G radio access. The scheme couples a bounded two-state kernel to a clique-feasible proportional-fair (PF) grant head: the excitability state acts as a finite-buffer proxy, the recovery state suppresses repeated grants, and neighbour pressure is injected along the interference graph via delayed spikes. A small-signal analysis yields a delay-dependent threshold $k_\star(Δ)$ and a spectral margin $δ= k_\star(Δ) - gHρ(W)$ that compress topology, controller gain, and delay into a single design parameter. Under light assumptions on arrivals, we prove geometric ergodicity for $δ>0$ and derive sub-Gaussian backlog and delay tail bounds with exponents proportional to $δ$. A numerical study, aligned with the analysis and a DU compute budget, compares NOS with PF and delayed backpressure (BP) across interference topologies over a $5$--$20$\,ms delay sweep. With a single gain fixed at the worst spectral radius, NOS sustains higher utilisation and a smaller 99.9th-percentile delay while remaining clique-feasible on integer PRBs.

Augmented Reality in Cultural Heritage: A Dual-Model Pipeline for 3D Artwork ReconstructionDaniele Pannone, Alessia Castronovo, Maurizio Mancini et al.
This paper presents an innovative augmented reality pipeline tailored for museum environments, aimed at recognizing artworks and generating accurate 3D models from single images. By integrating two complementary pre-trained depth estimation models, i.e., GLPN for capturing global scene structure and Depth-Anything for detailed local reconstruction, the proposed approach produces optimized depth maps that effectively represent complex artistic features. These maps are then converted into high-quality point clouds and meshes, enabling the creation of immersive AR experiences. The methodology leverages state-of-the-art neural network architectures and advanced computer vision techniques to overcome challenges posed by irregular contours and variable textures in artworks. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in reconstruction accuracy and visual realism, making the system a highly robust tool for museums seeking to enhance visitor engagement through interactive digital content.
