• Abstract: In learning-based semantic communications, neural networks have replaced different building blocks in traditional communication systems. However, the digital modulation still remains a challenge for neural networks. The intrinsic mechanism of neural network based digital modulation is mapping continuous output of the neural network encoder into discrete constellation symbols, which is a non-differentiable function that cannot be trained with existing gradient descend algorithms. To overcome this challenge, in this paper we develop a joint coding-modulation scheme for digital semantic communications with BPSK modulation. In our method, the neural network outputs the likelihood of each constellation point, instead of having a concrete mapping. A random code rather than a deterministic code is hence used, which preserves more information for the symbols with a close likelihood on each constellation point. The joint coding-modulation design can match the modulation process with channel states, and hence improve the performance of digital semantic communications. Experiment results show that our method outperforms existing digital modulation methods in semantic communications over a wide range of SNR, and outperforms neural network based analog modulation method in low SNR regime.

  The proposed method first pre-processes the received signal by using a zero-forcing (ZF) detector and then uses a neural network consisting of a convolutional neural network (CNN) followed by a fully-connected neural network (FCNN) The FCNN part uses only two fully-connected layers, which can be adapted to yield a trade-off between complexity and bit error rate (BER) performance. It has been demonstrated that the proposed deep convolutional neural network-based detection and demodulation scheme provides better BER performance compared to ZF detector with a reasonable complexity increase.
