Reason-to-Transmit: Deliberative Adaptive Communication for Cooperative Perception
Cooperative perception among autonomous agents overcomes the limitations of single-agent sensing, but bandwidth constraints in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks require efficient communication policies. Existing approaches rely on reactive mechanisms, such as confidence maps, learned gating, or sparse masks, to decide what to transmit, without reasoning about why a message benefits the receiver. We introduce Reason-to-Transmit (R2T), a framework that equips each agent with a lightweight transformer-based module that reasons over local scene context, estimated neighbor information gaps, and bandwidth budget to make per-region transmission decisions. Trained end-to-end with a bandwidth-a...
