多任务语义通信系统实现分布式源协同合作,提升复杂场景下的任务准确率。
Cooperative and Collaborative Multi-Task Semantic Communication for Distributed Sources
- 发射端分治编码,接收端协作解码,支持多任务并行处理
- 在噪声不主导性能时,复杂数据集上任务准确率显著提升
- 适用于工业传感等分布式多源真实场景,拓展语义通信应用边界
本文研究面向分布式源的多任务语义通信(SemCom)系统,扩展了以往聚焦于协同单任务执行的研究。基于文献[1]提出的协作式多任务处理框架,将编码器分为公共单元(CU)和多个专用单元(SUs)。与以往多任务语义通信集中观测的设定不同,本文探索更现实的分布式部分观测情形,如由多个传感节点监控的生产线。为此,提出一种通过发射端分治结构实现协作、接收端实现协同的多任务语义通信系统。采用信息论视角结合变分近似方法,构建端到端数据驱动模型。仿真结果表明,所提出的协作-协同多任务(CCMT)语义通信系统在噪声未严重限制任务性能的情况下,能显著提升复杂数据集上的任务执行准确率。研究成果推动了可同时处理分布式源与多任务的通用语义通信框架发展,增强了语义通信系统在真实场景中的适用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this paper, we explore a multi-task semantic communication (SemCom) system for distributed sources, extending the existing focus on collaborative single-task execution. We build on the cooperative multi-task processing introduced in [1], which divides the encoder into a common unit (CU) and multiple specific units (SUs). While earlier studies in multi-task SemCom focused on full observation settings, our research explores a more realistic case where only distributed partial observations are available, such as in a production line monitored by multiple sensing nodes. To address this, we propose an SemCom system that supports multi-task processing through cooperation on the transmitter side via split structure and collaboration on the receiver side. We have used an information-theoretic perspective with variational approximations for our end-to-end data-driven approach. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed cooperative and collaborative multi-task (CCMT) SemCom system significantly improves task execution accuracy, particularly in complex datasets, if the noise introduced from the communication channel is not limiting the task performance too much. Our findings contribute to a more general SemCom framework capable of handling distributed sources and multiple tasks simultaneously, advancing the applicability of SemCom systems in real-world scenarios.
