Scope
Semantic communication-aided wireless networks represent a paradigm shift in wireless communications, enabling intelligent and context-aware interactions between heterogeneous devices, systems, and protocols. This workshop aims to explore the intersection of semantic technologies and wireless networking, focusing on their applications in emerging technologies such as AR/VR/XR, machine-type applications, V2V, V2X, edge intelligence, etc., and fostering the co-existence and interoperability among fundamentally diverse protocols including WiFi, 5G/6G, satellite networks. Through theoretical discussions, practical demonstrations, and collaborative activities, participants will gain insights into the design principles, implementation challenges, and potential opportunities of semantic communication-aided wireless networks.
