让接收方主导语义通信,确保发送内容真正有用。
Receiver-Centric Generative Semantic Communications
- 接收方先发需求,发射方按需生成语义信息。
- 利用GPT-4等生成模型理解请求并提取关键信息。
- 适合对信息相关性要求高的场景,如定制化视频推送。
本文研究发射端与接收端之间的语义通信,其中原始数据(如接收方感兴趣的视频)存储在发射端。尽管语义通信已取得显著进展,但根本性问题在于:语义信息的提取仅基于发射端的准则,未考虑接收方的具体信息需求。因此,接收方关注的关键信息可能丢失,导致传输内容对其无意义。为解决该问题,本文提出一种以接收方为中心的生成式语义通信系统,每次传输由接收方发起。具体地,接收方在传输开始时向发射方发送其所需语义信息的请求,随后发射方据此提取相应信息。核心挑战在于如何使发射方合理且稳健地理解接收方请求并提取所需语义。为此,本文设计了结构化框架,并借助GPT-4等现成生成式AI产品及若干专用检测与估计工具。评估结果表明,所提新语义通信系统具有可行性与有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper investigates semantic communications between a transmitter and a receiver, where original data, such as videos of interest to the receiver, is stored at the transmitter. Although significant process has been made in semantic communications, a fundamental design problem is that the semantic information is extracted based on certain criteria at the transmitter alone, without considering the receiver's specific information needs. As a result, critical information of primary concern to the receiver may be lost. In such cases, the semantic transmission becomes meaningless to the receiver, as all received information is irrelevant to its interests. To solve this problem, this paper presents a receiver-centric generative semantic communication system, where each transmission is initialized by the receiver. Specifically, the receiver first sends its request for the desired semantic information to the transmitter at the start of each transmission. Then, the transmitter extracts the required semantic information accordingly. A key challenge is how the transmitter understands the receiver's requests for semantic information and extracts the required semantic information in a reasonable and robust manner. We address this challenge by designing a well-structured framework and leveraging off-the-shelf generative AI products, such as GPT-4, along with several specialized tools for detection and estimation. Evaluation results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed new semantic communication system.
