• Abstract summary: We propose a Synchronous Multimodal Semantic Communication System (SyncSC) with Packet-Level Coding. To achieve semantic and time synchronization, 3D Morphable Mode (3DMM) coefficients and text are transmitted as semantics. To protect semantic packets under the erasure channel, we propose a packet-Level Forward Error Correction (FEC) method, called PacSC, that maintains a certain visual quality performance even at high packet loss rates.

• Abstract: Although the semantic communication with joint semantic-channel coding design has shown promising performance in transmitting data of different modalities over physical layer channels, the synchronization and packet-level forward error correction of multimodal semantics have not been well studied. Due to the independent design of semantic encoders, synchronizing multimodal features in both the semantic and time domains is a challenging problem. In this paper, we take the facial video and speech transmission as an example and propose a Synchronous Multimodal Semantic Communication System (SyncSC) with Packet-Level Coding. To achieve semantic and time synchronization, 3D Morphable Mode (3DMM) coefficients and text are transmitted as semantics, and we propose a semantic codec that achieves similar quality of reconstruction and synchronization with lower bandwidth, compared to traditional methods. To protect semantic packets under the erasure channel, we propose a packet-Level Forward Error Correction (FEC) method, called PacSC, that maintains a certain visual quality performance even at high packet loss rates. Particularly, for text packets, a text packet loss concealment module, called TextPC, based on Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) is proposed, which significantly improves the performance of traditional FEC methods. The simulation results show that our proposed SyncSC reduce transmission overhead and achieve high-quality synchronous transmission of video and speech over the packet loss network.

  For tasks such as text-to-speech (TTS), voice conversion (VC), and automatic speech recognition (ASR), a cross-modal fine-grained (frame-level) sequence representation is desired. We propose a method called Quantized Contrastive Token-Acoustic Pre-training (VQ-CTAP), which uses the cross-modal sequence transcoder to bring text and speech into a joint space.
