| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary Semantic Edge Computing (SEC) and Semantic Communications (SemComs) have been proposed as viable approaches to achieve real-time edge-enabled intelligence in sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. This paper unifies both fields, summarizing the research problems and providing a comprehensive review of the state of the art in SEC and SemComs. Specifically, it leverages Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to encode and communicate semantic information while compensating for wireless effects, leading to improved communication efficiency. Additionally, it utilizes distributed DNNs to divide computation across devices based on their constraints. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary In a 6G wireless network, Semantic Edge Computing (SEC) and Semantic Communications (SemComs) can work together in real-time to achieve edge-enabled intelligence. This paper explains how SEC uses distributed Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to compute complex tasks on different devices. SemComs, on the other hand, encodes and communicates semantic information using DNNs that are resistant to wireless distortions. By combining these two approaches, we can improve communication efficiency. |
