Semantic Communication Challenges: Understanding Dos and Avoiding Don'ts
Published 22 Mar 2024 in cs.IT and math.IT | (2403.15649v1)
Abstract: Semantic communication, emerging as a promising paradigm for data transmission, offers an innovative departure from the constraints of Shannon theory, heralding significant advancements in future communication technologies. Despite the proliferation of proposed approaches, there are still numerous challenges. In this paper, we review current semantic communication methodologies and shed light on pivotal issues and addressing certain discrepancies that exist within the field. By elucidating both dos and don'ts, we aim to provide valuable insights into the emerging landscape of semantic communication.
