文摘To address the contradiction between the explosive growth of wireless data and the limited spectrum resources,semantic communication has been emerging as a promising communication paradigm.In this paper,we thus design a speech semantic coded communication system,referred to as Deep-STS(i.e.,Deep-learning based Speech To Speech),for the lowbandwidth speech communication.Specifically,we first deeply compress the speech data through extracting the textual information from the speech based on the conformer encoder and connectionist temporal classification decoder at the transmitter side of Deep-STS system.In order to facilitate the final speech timbre recovery,we also extract the short-term timbre feature of speech signals only for the starting 2s duration by the long short-term memory network.Then,the Reed-Solomon coding and hybrid automatic repeat request protocol are applied to improve the reliability of transmitting the extracted text and timbre feature over the wireless channel.Third,we reconstruct the speech signal by the mel spectrogram prediction network and vocoder,when the extracted text is received along with the timbre feature at the receiver of Deep-STS system.Finally,we develop the demo system based on the USRP and GNU radio for the performance evaluation of Deep-STS.Numerical results show that the ac-Received:Jan.17,2024 Revised:Jun.12,2024 Editor:Niu Kai curacy of text extraction approaches 95%,and the mel cepstral distortion between the recovered speech signal and the original one in the spectrum domain is less than 10.Furthermore,the experimental results show that the proposed Deep-STS system can reduce the total delay of speech communication by 85%on average compared to the G.723 coding at the transmission rate of 5.4 kbps.More importantly,the coding rate of the proposed Deep-STS system is extremely low,only 0.2 kbps for continuous speech communication.It is worth noting that the Deep-STS with lower coding rate can support the low-zero-power speech communication,unveiling a new era in ultra-efficient coded communications.
文摘Deep learning-based Joint Source-Channel Coding(JSCC)is a crucial component in semantic communication,and recent research has made significant progress in adapting to different channels.In this paper,we propose a multi-stage progressive technique called Deep learning based Progressive Joint Source-Channel Coding(DP-JSCC).This approach partitions the source into multiple stages and transmits the signals continuously.The receiver gradually enhances the quality of image reconstruction by progressively receiving the signals,offering greater flexibility compared to existing dynamic rate transmission methods.The model adopts a lightweight architectural design,where we introduce an efficient module called the Inverted Shuffle Attention Bottleneck(ISAB)and incorporate self-attention mechanisms in the encoding and decoding process to capture signal correlations and establish long-range dependencies.Additionally,we introduce the Progressive Focus Weight Allocation(PFWA)method to improve the image reconstruction capability in progressive transmission tasks.These design enhance the expressive capacity of the model.Simulation results demonstrate that DP-JSCC can flexibly adjust the transmission rate according to requirements without the need for retraining or deployment,enabling continuous optimization of signals at different rates.Furthermore,compared to stateof-the-art JSCC methods,DP-JSCC exhibits advantages in terms of computational complexity,parameter count,and reconstruction performance.

文摘Multimedia semantic communication has been receiving increasing attention due to its significant enhancement of communication efficiency.Semantic coding,which is oriented towards extracting and encoding the key semantics of video for transmission,is a key aspect in the framework of multimedia semantic communication.In this paper,we propose a facial video semantic coding method with low bitrate based on the temporal continuity of video semantics.At the sender’s end,we selectively transmit facial keypoints and deformation information,allocating distinct bitrates to different keypoints across frames.Compressive techniques involving sampling and quantization are employed to reduce the bitrate while retaining facial key semantic information.At the receiver’s end,a GAN-based generative network is utilized for reconstruction,effectively mitigating block artifacts and buffering problems present in traditional codec algorithms under low bitrates.The performance of the proposed approach is validated on multiple datasets,such as VoxCeleb and TalkingHead-1kH,employing metrics such as LPIPS,DISTS,and AKD for assessment.Experimental results demonstrate significant advantages over traditional codec methods,achieving up to approximately 10-fold bitrate reduction in prolonged,stable head pose scenarios across diverse conversational video settings.
