arXiv:2603.18871v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Urban Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) can become fragmented because buildings obstruct wireless links and vehicle mobility continuously changes the network topology. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can serve as mobile relays, but Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)-based deployment often suffers from inefficient exploration because it lacks road-topology guidance. To address this problem, we propose Semantic-Augmented DRL (SA-DRL), which models network fragmentation over the road topology and aligns a pretrained Large Language Model (LLM) to generate a topology-dependent action prior from dynamic traffic states. The resulting Semantic-Augmented PPO (SA-PPO) algorithm combines this prior with the PPO policy through Logit Fusion, guiding exploration toward promising intersections while retaining adaptation through environmental returns. Simulations driven by real-world urban trajectories show that SA-PPO reaches the final converged reward of Vanilla PPO using only 28.6% of its training episodes. It improves the average number of vehicles in connected components and the average connected-component size by 7.9% and 8.7%, respectively, while reducing UAV energy consumption by 21.3%.
