• Abstract: Emerging uplink-dominant 6G use cases, such as cooperative vehicular streaming, require efficient transmission of high-volume visual data over limited wireless resources. While semantic communications can reduce traffic by prioritizing task-relevant content, most existing approaches treat users independently and therefore overlook spatial redundancy among nearby devices' observations. This paper proposes a semantic-aware multiple access scheme that exploits overlapping fields of view among vehicular users to reduce redundant uplink transmissions. We formulate a joint perception and transmission control problem in which users decide which image patches to transmit, when to transmit them, and over which channel, subject to communication constraints. To address the resulting complexity, we introduce a practical two-phase approach. First, nearby vehicles share selected observation patches over Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) links to calculate inter-user spatial redundancy. Second, users transmit only semantically important, non-redundant patches to the base station, where observations can be reconstructed using the received patches and complementary views from neighboring vehicles. Simulation results in a dense urban vehicular scenario demonstrate that our approach improves the proportion of users who achieve high-fidelity reconstruction, highlighting the potential of semantic-aware multiple access for sustainable and resource-efficient 6G uplink systems.
