摘要The satellite-ground integrated Networks(SGIN)emerge as a promising paradigm to extend the coverage and resilience of terrestrial networks.However,the high mobility and intermittent connectivity of satellites lead to inevitable ground-satellite handovers.Existing handover algorithms often overlook the inherent interdependence between ground-satellite handover and inter-satellite routing,resulting in suboptimal performance and degraded quality of service(QoS).To address these issues,we propose a heterogeneous graph neural networks-enhanced deep reinforcement learning(HGRL)algorithm for joint handover and routing optimization.First,we propose the semantic-based heterogeneous graph neural networks(SHGNN)to model SGIN as a heterogeneous graph,capturing the intricate relationships between handover and routing through diverse representations of nodes and edges.Then,we embed the SHGNN into a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)framework,enabling QoS-aware decisions for both ground-satellite handover and inter-satellite routing.Additionally,a non-dominated crowding sorting(NCS)mechanism is proposed to prune alternative paths while balancing multiple QoS objectives.Finally,extensive simulations in NS3 show that HGRL outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms,reducing the handover times and average delay by 63.63%and 36.85%,and improving the average throughput by 26.53%.

摘要The future 6G networks will integrates space and terrestrial networks to realize a fully connected world with extensive collaboration.However,how to build trust between multiple parties is a difficult problem for secure cooperation without a reliable third-party.Blockchain is a promising technology to solve this problem by converting the trust between multi-parties to the trust to the common shared data.Several works have proposed to apply the incentive mechanism in blockchain to encourage effective cooperation,but how to evaluate the cooperation performance and avoid breach of contract is not discussed.In this paper,a secure relay scheme is proposed based on the consortium blockchain system composed by different operators.In particular,smart contract checks the integrity of the message based on RSA accumulator,and executes transactions automatically when the message is delivered successfully.Detailed procedures are introduced for both uplink and downlink relay.Implementation based on Hyperledger Fabric proves the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and shows that the complexity of the scheme is low enough for practical deployment.

摘要With the rapid development of low-orbit satellite com-munication networks both domestically and internationally,space-terrestrial integrated networks will become the future development trend.For space and terrestrial networks with limi-ted resources,the utilization efficiency of the entire space-terres-trial integrated networks resources can be affected by the core network indirectly.In order to improve the response efficiency of core networks expansion construction,early warning of the core network elements capacity is necessary.Based on the inte-grated architecture of space and terrestrial network,multidimen-sional factors are considered in this paper,including the number of terminals,login users,and the rules of users’migration during holidays.Using artifical intelligence(AI)technologies,the regis-tered users of the access and mobility management function(AMF),authorization users of the unified data management(UDM),protocol data unit(PDU)sessions of session manage-ment function(SMF)are predicted in combination with the num-ber of login users,the number of terminals.Therefore,the core network elements capacity can be predicted in advance.The proposed method is proven to be effective based on the data from real network.

摘要To address the modeling fragmentation and predictive deviation caused by the conventional"singlemechanism,weakly coupled,additive response"approach in formation damage research,this study proposes an integrated modeling framework for multi-mechanism coupling throughout the entire drilling and completion process.Five dominant damage mechanisms are unified into a multi-physics formulation featuring a dual solid–liquid module architecture and a shared-state coupling mechanism.A structural-state integrated damage function(SSIDF)is introduced to establish a continuous mapping from microscopic mechanism evolution to macroscopic permeability degradation.A feedback network encompassing scaling,clay swelling,and water blocking is further developed,achieving bidirectional dynamic coupling among reaction kinetics,interfacial transport,and saturation fields,and representing one of the most systematic coupling schemes currently known.The model is solved via a space-time multi-scale optimization strategy,ensuring strong numerical stability and scalability.Field validation demonstrates a prediction accuracy of 98.6%,representing an improvement of over 8%compared to traditional additive models.The model is particularly applicable to unconventional reservoirs such as deepwater formations,where multi-mechanism damage evolves rapidly and conventional additive models fail to capture dynamic coupling behavior.

摘要Phytomelatonin,an emerging plant hormone,plays vital roles in plant growth,development,and stress adaptation(Arnao et al.,2022;Ullah et al.,2024).It acts both as a direct antioxidant and a signaling molecule,engaging complex networks and interacting with other phytohormones(Liu et al.,2022;Khan et al.,2023).Although phytomelatonin receptors(PMTRs)have been identified in many plants(Wei et al.,2018;Wang et al.,2022;Liu et al.,2025),the downstream signaling mechanisms,particularly receptor-mediated protein modifications and transcriptional regulation,remain poorly characterized.

摘要The short-term forecasting of multiple loads is crucial for the optimization and scheduling of integrated energy system(IES).However,the load within the IES exhibits diversified and strongly coupled characteristics,which seriously affects the forecast accuracy.Moreover,only using deep learning forecasting methods cannot analyze the factors that affect the forecast results,which is not conducive to guiding the optimization and scheduling of comprehensive energy systems.Therefore,a multivariate load forecasting model based on knowledge-guided multi-task spatial-temporal synchronous graph convolutional network is proposed.Firstly,the user clusters are classified according to the energy-using characteristics of different buildings.Then,the domain knowledge base is built by combining the dimensionless trends of different groups and expert experience.At the same time,the input features are filtered based on the improved maximum information coefficient method to construct spatialtemporal graph data,forming a more refined and efficient input sample data.Finally,the knowledge-data fusion model for multivariate load forecasting is constructed to predict local fluctuations of the multivariate load series and reconstruct the load ratio.The IES data set of Arizona State University Tempe Campus is taken as a test case.The results show that the proposed method is interpretable,has higher forecast accuracy and has better generalization ability.
