Low-Latency Task-Oriented Image Transmission with Opportunistic Spectrum Access

Communication systems designed for reliable data reconstruction, rather than task-oriented communication, typically rely on separate source and channel coding and incur high latency under limited spectrum availability and fading channels. To address this, we propose a transmission framework with opportunistic spectrum access, in which the transmitter sends discrete latent representations learned via a vector-quantized variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE) over idle licensed channels using standard digital modulation. The AI-powered receiver is still able to reconstruct task-related information from the heavily compressed data. We develop a cross-layer latency model that accounts for compression, block errors, retransmissions, and stochastic channel access. Results on latency-accuracy trade-offs show that the proposed scheme achieves at least 79- and 3.3-fold latency reductions with only 5.7% and 2.4% drops in classification accuracy compared to benchmarks using conventional source and channel coding. The framework enables low-latency communication and reliable task execution even under limited spectrum availability and challenging channel conditions.
