In pursuit of this, we first introduced our definition of the “semantic source”, enabling the interpretation of multiple semantics based on a single observation. A semantic encoder design is then introduced, featuring the division of the encoder into a common unit and multiple specific units enabling cooperative multi-task processing. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed semantic source and the system design. Our approac h employs information maximization (infomax) and end-to-en d design principles}, journal={IEEE Wireless Communications Letters ( Volume: 13, Issue: 10, October 2024)} }
