Reason-to-Transmit: Deliberative Adaptive Communication for Cooperative Perception

ArXi:2603.20308v1 Announce Type: cross 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
