Two-Way Semantic Transmission of Images without Feedback
As a competitive technology for 6G, semantic communications can significantly improve transmission efficiency. However, many existing semantic communication systems require information feedback during the training coding process, resulting in a significant communication overhead. In this article, we consider a two-way semantic communication (TW-SC) system, where information feedback can be omitted by exploiting the weight reciprocity in the transceiver. Particularly, the channel simulator and semantic transceiver are implemented on both TW-SC nodes and the channel distribution is modeled by a conditional generative adversarial network. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed TW-SC system performs closing to the state-of-the-art one-way semantic communication systems but requiring no feedback between the transceiver in the training process.
