Title:

Semantic CommunicationsSystems for Remote Driving

Abstract:

The explosive growth of data, the continuous surge in the number of connected devices, and the increasing demand for real-time applications are posing unprecedented challenges to existing network architectures. As an emerging communication paradigm to address this trend, semantic communications have attracted widespread attention in recent years. Taking video transmission in remote driving as an example, this talk introduces an innovative semantic communication system that can more effectively deliver video data. Experimental results based on the prototype system demonstrate that the proposed system achieves significant performance improvements compared with both existing semantic communication methods and traditional non-semantic communication approaches.
