Semantic Communications with Variable-Length Coding for Extended Reality
Wireless extended reality (XR) has attracted wide attentions as a promising technology to improve users' mobility and quality of experience. However, the ultra-high data rate requirement of wireless XR has hindered its development for many years. To overcome this challenge, we develop a semantic communication framework, where semantically-unimportant information is highly-compressed or discarded in semantic coders, significantly improving the transmission efficiency. Besides, considering the fact that some source content may have less amount of semantic information or have higher tolerance to channel noise, we propose a universal variable-length semantic-channel coding method. In particular, we first use a rate allocation network to estimate the best code length for semantic information and then adjust the coding process accordingly. By adopting some proxy functions, the whole framework is trained in an end-to-end manner. Numerical results show that our semantic system significantly outperforms traditional transmission methods and the proposed variable-length coding scheme is superior to the fixed-length coding methods.
