智能交通系统与6G无线通信技术的发展重塑了车辆网络拓扑。未来联网自动驾驶车辆(CAV)网络需为交通标志识别、决策等安全关键应用提供高效、可靠且低延迟的通信。传统系统无视任务相关性传输原始数据,在上行链路带宽稀缺、传播损耗大的卫星信道中效率低下。语义通信通过仅传输任务相关的语义特征,结合深度学习优化接收端任务表现,解决此问题。本文提出一种基于变分自编码器(VAE)的多任务卫星辅助自动驾驶语义通信框架。相比确定性自编码器方法,该模型采用概率潜空间表示,实现更鲁棒高效的编码。所学特征在有噪无线信道上传输,用于完成交通标志重建与分类任务。框架端到端训练,联合优化两任务。实验表明,该方法在不同信噪比条件下可实现高达87.23%至98.17%的带宽压缩,同时保持稳定性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The development of smart transportation systems and the introduction of 6G wireless communication technologies have significantly changed vehicle network topologies. Future connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) networks require bandwidth-efficient, reliable, and low-latency communication for safety-critical applications such as traffic sign recognition and decision-making. Conventional communication systems transmit raw data regardless of task relevance, which is inefficient in resource-constrained satellite channels where uplink bandwidth is scarce and propagation losses are large. Semantic communication addresses this limitation by transmitting task-relevant information instead of full signal representations. It extracts and conveys essential semantic features and leverages deep learning to optimize task performance at the receiver. Therefore, we present a Variational Autoencoder (VAE)-based multi-task semantic communication framework for satellite-assisted autonomous driving. Unlike deterministic autoencoder-based methods, the proposed model uses probabilistic latent representations for more robust and efficient encoding. The learned features are transmitted over noisy wireless channels to perform traffic sign reconstruction and classification. The framework is trained end-to-end to jointly optimize both tasks. Results show that the proposed approach achieves significant bandwidth reduction of up to 87.23\% to 98.17\% while maintaining stable performance across varying signal-to-noise ratio conditions.
