Integrated Sensing, Computing, and Semantic Communication with Fluid Antenna for Metaverse

원문 초록

The integration of sensing and communication (ISAC) is pivotal for the Metaverse but faces challenges like high data volume and privacy concerns. This paper proposes a novel integrated sensing, computing, and semantic communication (ISCSC) framework, which uses semantic communication to transmit only contextual information, reducing data overhead and enhancing efficiency. To address the sensitivity of semantic communication to channel conditions, fluid antennas (FAs) are introduced, enabling dynamic adaptability. The FA-enabled ISCSC framework considers multiple users and extended targets composed of a series of scatterers, formulating a joint optimization problem to maximize the data rate while ensuring sensing accuracy and meeting computational and power constraints. An alternating optimization (AO) method decomposes the problem into subproblems for ISAC beamforming, FA positioning, and semantic extraction. Simulations confirm the framework's effectiveness in improving data rates and sensing performance.
