Modeling and Performance Analysis for Semantic Communications Based on Empirical Results
- 构建ABG公式建模语义通信端到端性能与信噪比关系
- 发现重建质量上限由编码器量化位数决定,给出闭式表达式
- 基于公式设计自适应功率控制,提升多用户系统能效与服务质量
由于基于深度学习的语义编码器和解码器具有黑箱特性,语义通信的性能分析面临挑战。本文提出一种Alpha-Beta-Gamma(ABG)公式,用于建模端到端性能与信噪比(SNR)的关系,适用于图像重建和推理任务。对于图像重建,该公式可良好拟合SCUNet、Vision Transformer等主流网络,以多尺度结构相似性指数(MS-SSIM)为度量标准。研究发现,MS-SSIM的上限取决于语义编码器输出的量化比特数,并提出了闭式表达式来拟合二者关系。据我们所知,这是首个针对语义通信的端到端性能指标与SNR之间的理论表达式。基于此公式,本文进一步研究了随机衰落信道下的自适应功率控制方案,可有效保障语义通信的服务质量(QoS),并设计了最大化系统能效的最优功率分配方案。此外,通过二分法算法,实现了在OFDMA下行链路中最大化多用户最小QoS的功率分配。大量仿真验证了所提公式与功率分配方案的有效性和优越性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Due to the black-box characteristics of deep learning based semantic encoders and decoders, finding a tractable method for the performance analysis of semantic communications is a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose an Alpha-Beta-Gamma (ABG) formula to model the relationship between the end-to-end measurement and SNR, which can be applied for both image reconstruction tasks and inference tasks. Specifically, for image reconstruction tasks, the proposed ABG formula can well fit the commonly used DL networks, such as SCUNet, and Vision Transformer, for semantic encoding with the multi scale-structural similarity index measure (MS-SSIM) measurement. Furthermore, we find that the upper bound of the MS-SSIM depends on the number of quantized output bits of semantic encoders, and we also propose a closed-form expression to fit the relationship between the MS-SSIM and quantized output bits. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first theoretical expression between end-to-end performance metrics and SNR for semantic communications. Based on the proposed ABG formula, we investigate an adaptive power control scheme for semantic communications over random fading channels, which can effectively guarantee quality of service (QoS) for semantic communications, and then design the optimal power allocation scheme to maximize the energy efficiency of the semantic communication system. Furthermore, by exploiting the bisection algorithm, we develop the power allocation scheme to maximize the minimum QoS of multiple users for OFDMA downlink semantic communication Extensive simulations verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed ABG formula and power allocation schemes.
