In semantic communication (SemCom), the gain of deep learning-based joint source and channel coding (JSCC) has been proved to partly come from the analog transmission of semantic features extracted directly from the source signal. While, the current mainstream digital communication system design results in the gains almost vanishing when bit-oriented modulation (e.g., QPSK) is employed. To tackle ...Show More
Semantic communication (SC) offers promising advancements in data transmission efficiency and reliability by focusing on delivering true meaning rather than solely binary bits of messages.
