• Abstract: In future 6G wireless networks, semantic and effectiveness aspects of communications will play a fundamental role, incorporating meaning and relevance into transmissions. However, obstacles arise when devices employ diverse languages, logic, or internal representations, leading to semantic mismatches that might jeopardize understanding. 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 via latent space alignment. We propose a dynamic optimization strategy that adapts relative representations, communication parameters, and computation resources for energy-efficient, low-latency, goal-oriented semantic communications. Numerical results demonstrate our methodology's effectiveness in mitigating mismatches among devices, while optimizing energy consumption, delay, and effectiveness.

  This paper investigates the quality of service for semantic communication networks, including the semantic quantization efficiency (SQE) and transmission latency. A problem maximizing the overall effective SC-QoS is formulated by jointly the transmit beamforming the base station, the bits semantic representation the subchannel assignment, and the semantic resource allocation. Our design can effectively combat semantic noise and achieve superior performance in wireless communications compared to several benchmark schemes.

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.
