生成式语义通信(SemCom)利用预训练生成先验提升无线图像传输的感知质量。然而,现有生成式SemCom接收端依赖最大后验(MAP)估计,无法保持数据分布,从而限制了感知质量。当前基于扩散模型的方法采用单一域引导,存在明显局限:潜在域引导对信道噪声敏感,图像域引导继承解码器偏差。简单地同时结合两个域会导致过度自信的伪后验。本文将语义解码建模为贝叶斯逆问题,证明后验采样能通过保持数据分布实现最优感知质量。基于此,提出交替双域后验采样(ADDPS),一种基于扩散模型的接收端,在采样过程中交替施加潜在域与图像域的一致性约束。该策略将联合后验采样分解为更简单的子问题,避免梯度冲突,同时保留两域互补优势。在FFHQ数据集上的实验表明,所提ADDPS在感知质量上显著优于现有方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative semantic communication (SemCom) harnesses pretrained generative priors to improve the perceptual quality of wireless image transmission. Existing generative SemCom receivers, however, rely on maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation, which fundamentally cannot preserve the data distribution and thus limits achievable perceptual quality. Moreover, current diffusion-based approaches using single-domain guidance face significant limitations: latent-domain guidance is sensitive to channel noise, while image-domain guidance inherits decoder bias. Simply combining both domains simultaneously yields an overconfident pseudo-posterior. In this paper, we formulate semantic decoding as a Bayesian inverse problem and prove that posterior sampling achieves optimal perceptual quality by preserving the data distribution. Building on this insight, we propose alternating dual-domain posterior sampling (ADDPS), a diffusion-based SemCom receiver that alternately enforces latent-domain and image-domain consistency during the sampling process. This alternating strategy decomposes joint posterior sampling into simpler subproblems, avoiding gradient conflicts while retaining the complementary strengths of both domains. Experiments on FFHQ demonstrate that the proposed ADDPS achieves superior perceptual quality compared with existing methods.
