Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of communication technologies, Beyond 5G (B5G) communications have emerged as the next frontier in wireless communication systems. B5G aims to provide ultra-reliable and low-latency communications, massive AI-aided communication, and unprecedented levels of connectivity. One of the key pillars in achieving these goals is intelligent information processing and coding. With immense excitement, we present our Special Issue, which is focused on gathering cutting-edge research on intelligent techniques for information processing and coding in the context of B5G communications.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, scholars, and practitioners to showcase their latest research findings and innovations in the field of intelligent information processing and coding for B5G communications. We invite contributions that cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Next-generation communication technology;
  • Machine learning and deep learning in wireless communications;
  • Satellite and space communications;
  • Novel coding schemes for B5G;
  • Intelligent data compression and processing techniques;
  • Applications of artificial intelligence in B5G networks.

In recent years, semantic communication has received significant attention from both academia and industry, driven by the growing demands for ultra-low latency and high-throughput capabilities in emerging intelligent services. Nonetheless, a comprehensive and effective theoretical framework for semantic communication has yet to be established. In particular, finding the fundamental limits of semantic communication, exploring the capabilities of semantic-aware networks, or utilizing theoretical guidance for deep learning in semantic communication are very important yet still unresolved issues. In general, the mathematical theory of semantic communication and the mathematical representation of semantics are referred to as semantic information theory. In this paper, we introduce the pertinent advancements in semantic information theory. Grounded in the foundational work of Claude Shannon, we present the latest developments in semantic entropy, semantic rate-distortion, and semantic channel capacity. Additionally, we analyze some open problems in semantic information measurement and semantic coding, providing a theoretical basis for the design of a semantic communication system. Furthermore, we carefully review several mathematical theories and tools and evaluate their applicability in the context of semantic communication. Finally, we shed light on the challenges encountered in both semantic communication and semantic information theory. Full article
