Abstract:Deep learning based semantic communication has achieved significant progress in wireless image transmission, but most existing schemes rely on fixed models and thus lack robustness to diverse image contents and dynamic channel conditions. To improve adaptability, recent studies have developed adaptive semantic communication strategies that adjust transmission or model behavior according to either source content or channel state. More recently, MoE-based semantic communication has emerged as a sparse and efficient adaptive architecture, although existing designs still mainly rely on single-driven routing. To address this limitation, we propose a novel multi-stage end-to-end image semantic communication system for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channels, built upon an adaptive MoE Swin Transformer block. Specifically, we introduce a dynamic expert gating mechanism that jointly evaluates both real-time CSI and the semantic content of input image patches to compute adaptive routing probabilities. By selectively activating only a specialized subset of experts based on this joint condition, our approach breaks the rigid coupling of traditional adaptive methods and overcomes the bottlenecks of single-driven routing. Simulation results indicate a significant improvement in reconstruction quality over existing methods while maintaining the transmission efficiency.




Abstract:In this paper, we propose a semantic communication approach based on probabilistic graphical model (PGM). The proposed approach involves constructing a PGM from a training dataset, which is then shared as common knowledge between the transmitter and receiver. We evaluate the importance of various semantic features and present a PGM-based compression algorithm designed to eliminate predictable portions of semantic information. Furthermore, we introduce a technique to reconstruct the discarded semantic information at the receiver end, generating approximate results based on the PGM. Simulation results indicate a significant improvement in transmission efficiency over existing methods, while maintaining the quality of the transmitted images.
