Towards Intelligent Communications: Large Model Empowered Semantic Communications

Understand

Deep learning enabled semantic communications have shown great potential to significantly improve transmission efficiency and alleviate spectrum scarcity, by effectively exchanging the semantics behind the data.

• Recently, the emergence of large models, boasting billions of parameters, has unveiled remarkable human-like intelligence, offering a promising avenue for advancing semantic communication by enhancing semantic understanding and contextual understanding.
• This article systematically investigates the large model-empowered semantic communication systems from potential applications to system design.
• First, we propose a new semantic communication architecture that seamlessly integrates large models into semantic communication through the introduction of a memory module.
