Deep Learning Enabled Semantic Communications

Comprehensive overview of the principles, theories, and techniques behind deep learning enabled semantic communications

Deep Learning Enabled Semantic Communications explores the synergy between deep learning and semantic communication, particularly in the context of advancing 6G networks. It provides a focused introduction to the subject, systematically covering deep learning enabled semantic communication systems and task-oriented semantic transmission paradigms in wireless communication.

The book reviews various aspects of semantic communications, including information theory, multimodal technologies, semantic noise, and semantic sensing. It explores cutting-edge semantic communication architectures, highlighting their advantages over traditional approaches and their potential to drive the future of intelligent information industry.

The book also details applications of deep learning-based semantic communication systems across various sources, including text, speech, images, and videos, comprehensively addressing system design, performance optimization, and measurement metrics.

The book is divided into eight main parts, which cover foundational knowledge, system design, multimodal and multitask-oriented semantic communication systems, joint semantic sensing and sampling, semantic noise suppression, and generative AI enabled systems.
