Joint Semantic-Channel Coding and Modulation for Token Communications

  • 基于点变换器并行编码,结合软量化与Gumbel-softmax实现令牌调制。
  • 重建性能提升1dB以上,调制符号压缩超6倍。
  • 适合点云传输、低带宽通信场景的科研与工程应用。

近年来,Transformer架构在多种任务和模态中表现优异,其统一的输入输出表示——令牌已成为基础信息单元。本文研究令牌通信问题,旨在高效可靠地传输令牌。选取具有复杂空间结构的点云作为信息源,采用集合抽象方法提取点令牌。为获得更具信息量且适于传输的令牌表示,提出一种联合语义-信道编码与调制(JSCCM)方案,将点令牌映射至标准数字星座点(调制令牌)。JSCCM由两个并行的点变换器编码器与差分调制器构成,结合了Gumbel-softmax与软量化方法。此外,设计了速率分配器与信道适配器,可依据语义信息与信道条件自适应生成高质量调制令牌。大量仿真表明,所提方法优于联合语义-信道编码与传统分离编码,重建性能提升超过1dB,调制符号压缩比超过6倍。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In recent years, the Transformer architecture has achieved outstanding performance across a wide range of tasks and modalities. Token is the unified input and output representation in Transformer-based models, which has become a fundamental information unit. In this work, we consider the problem of token communication, studying how to transmit tokens efficiently and reliably. Point cloud, a prevailing three-dimensional format which exhibits a more complex spatial structure compared to image or video, is chosen to be the information source. We utilize the set abstraction method to obtain point tokens. Subsequently, to get a more informative and transmission-friendly representation based on tokens, we propose a joint semantic-channel and modulation (JSCCM) scheme for the token encoder, mapping point tokens to standard digital constellation points (modulated tokens). Specifically, the JSCCM consists of two parallel Point Transformer-based encoders and a differential modulator which combines the Gumel-softmax and soft quantization methods. Besides, the rate allocator and channel adapter are developed, facilitating adaptive generation of high-quality modulated tokens conditioned on both semantic information and channel conditions. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms both joint semantic-channel coding and traditional separate coding, achieving over 1dB gain in reconstruction and more than 6x compression ratio in modulated symbols.
