Less Data, More Knowledge: Building Next-Generation Semantic Communication Networks

Semantic communication is viewed as a revolutionary paradigm that can potentially transform how we design and operate wireless communication systems. However, despite a recent surge of research activities in this area, remarkably, the research landscape is still limited in at least three ways. First and foremost, the definition of a “semantic communication system” is ambiguous and varies widely between different studies. This lack of consensus makes it challenging to develop rigorous and scalable frameworks for building semantic communication networks. Secondly, current approaches to building semantic communication networks are limited by their reliance on data-driven and information-driven AI-augmented…
