Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Severe signal blockage and fast-varying channels in vehicular environments pose critical challenges to reliable semantic communication. To address these, this paper proposes a novel Row-Movable Active Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RM-A-RIS) assisted vehicular semantic communication system. This architecture uniquely combines active signal amplification with element mobility to compensate for multiplicative fading and reconstruct channel geometry, thereby enhancing spatial diversity. We formulate a joint optimization problem to maximize Semantic Spectral Efficiency (SSE) by coordinating RIS element positions, active reflection coefficients, and semantic symbol length. An efficient Alternating Optimization (AO) algorithm is developed to tackle the coupled non-convexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme substantially outperforms existing benchmarks, achieving up to 132.9%, 9.2%, and 35.2% improvements in Sum-Semantic Spectral Efficiency (Sum-SSE) compared to the passive RIS, fixed-position active RIS, and QPSO baselines, respectively.
