• Abstract: In forthcoming AI-assisted 6G networks, integrating semantic, pragmatic, and goal-oriented communication strategies becomes imperative. This integration will enable sensing, transmission, and processing of exclusively pertinent task data, ensuring conveyed information possesses understandable, pragmatic semantic significance, aligning with destination needs and goals. Without doubt, no communication is error free. Within this context, besides errors stemming from typical wireless communication dynamics, potential distortions between transmitter-intended and receiver-interpreted meanings can emerge due to limitations in semantic processing capabilities, as well as language and knowledge representation disparities between transmitters and receivers. The main contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, it proposes and details a novel mathematical modeling of errors stemming from language mismatches at both semantic and effectiveness levels. Second, it provides a novel algorithmic solution to counteract these types of errors which leverages optimal transport theory. Our numerical results show the potential of the proposed mechanism to compensate for language mismatches, thereby enhancing the attainability of reliable communication under noisy communication environments.

  semantic and effectiveness aspects of communications will play a fundamental role in 6G wireless networks. In latent space communication, this challenge manifests as misalignment within high-dimensional representations where deep neural networks encode data. This paper presents a novel framework for goal-oriented semantic communication, leveraging relative representations to mitigate semantic mismatches.

  A novel implicit semantic-aware communication (iSAC) architecture is proposed for representing, communicating, and interpreting the implicit semantic meaning between source and destination users. A projection-based semantic encoder is proposed to convert the high-dimensional graphical representation of explicit semantics into a low-dimensional semantic constellation space for efficient physical channel transmission. A generative adversarial imitation learning-based solution, called G-RML, is proposed to enable the destination user to learn and imitate the implicit semantic reasoning process of source user.

By using semantic representation and languages, we show that the traditional transmitter and receiver now become a teacher and apprentice.
