Semantic Communications System with Model Division Multiple Access and Controllable Coding Rate for Point Cloud (2307.06027v1)

Published 12 Jul 2023 in cs.MM

Abstract: Point cloud, as a 3D representation, is widely used in autonomous driving, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). However, traditional communication systems think that the point cloud's semantic information is irrelevant to communication, which hinders the efficient transmission of point clouds in the era of AI. This paper proposes a point cloud based semantic communication system (PCSC), which uses AI-based encoding techniques to extract the semantic information of the point cloud and joint source-channel coding (JSCC) technology to overcome the distortion caused by noise channels and solve the "cliff effect" in traditional communication. In addition, the system realizes the controllable coding rate without fine-tuning the network. The method analyzes the coded semantic vector's importance and discards semantically-unimportant information, thereby improving the transmission efficiency. Besides, PCSC and the recently proposed non-orthogonal model division multiple access (MDMA) technology are combined to design a point cloud MDMA transmission system (M-PCSC) for multi-user transmission. Relevant experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the traditional method 10dB in the same channel bandwidth ratio under the PSNR D1 and PSNR D2 metrics. In terms of transmission, the proposed method can effectively solve the "cliff effect" in the traditional methods.
