The field of integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks is rapidly evolving, with a focus on seamless connectivity and efficient data management. Recent developments highlight the importance of semantic communication, federated learning, and edge computing in achieving these goals. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches, such as collaborative hierarchical federated learning frameworks and semantics-aware unified networks, to improve performance and reduce energy consumption. Noteworthy papers include SemSpaceFL, which proposes a novel hierarchical federated learning framework for LEO satellite networks, and Semantics-Aware Unified Terrestrial Non-Terrestrial 6G Networks, which investigates semantics-aware information handling for unified networks. These advancements have significant implications for various applications, including smart homes, electric vehicle charging, and space sustainability.
