US 2023/0412709 A1 · Semantic Communication: Protocol Stack and Model Selection

Abstract

This disclosure relates to techniques for performing communication in a wireless communication system. The communication may be semantic communication and/or may use a programmable protocol stack. A protocol stack at a transmitter and/or receiver may include customization from an application platform, e.g., which may replace one or more layers relative to a non-customized protocol stack. A transmitter may transmit data, via the customized protocol stack, using a best effort data channel, e.g., with transmission characteristics that are relatively lossy in comparison to a data channel used by the non-customized protocol stack. A receiver may receive the data and may, e.g., if the data is corrupted, select one or more model to recover the data and/or determine whether reception is successful, e.g., from a semantic point of view. The proposed system may support higher data rates, less retransmissions, and/or better quality of user experience.

Claims21

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to cause a wireless device to:
receive, from a cellular network via a control channel, first control information associated with a first block of information for a first application executing on the wireless device;
determine, based on the first control information, a first location for receiving the first block of information;
receive, from the cellular network via a data channel, the first block of information at the first location;
select a first model, from a plurality of models, for interpreting the first block of information;
determine, using at least the first model, whether the first block of information is received successfully;
and
transmit, to the cellular network, an indication of whether the first block of information is received successfully.

A method, comprising:

receiving, from a cellular network via a control channel, first control information associated with a first block of information for a first application;
determining, based on the first control information, a first location for receiving the first block of information;
receiving, from the cellular network via a data channel, the first block of information at the first location;
selecting a first model, from a plurality of models, for interpreting the first block of information;
