Abstract
En 中文
We present a many-to-one distributed semantic communication system for multivariate time series classification. The system adopts a federated learning-based architecture to achieve low-redundancy collaborative inference, where an unsupervised auxiliary task is designed to coordinate the feature vectors at different dimensions between semantic encoders and the classifier. For each transmitter, we design a scale-adaptive semantic encoder by applying weighted sum to a number of predefined convolutional layers. The scale-adaptive semantic encoder can extract multi-scale features from time series following various distributions. A dynamic channel encoder is developed to adapt to the scale-adaptive semantic encoder, converting semantic features to complex symbols appropriate for wireless transmission. For the receiver, we apply the same scale-adaptive structure to the semantic decoder to extract multi-scale semantic features from all transmitters for accurate classification. Simulation results show that the proposed distributed semantic communication system outperforms two baseline systems under AWGN, Rician, and Rayleigh channels and achieves excellent Top-1 accuracy performance on three UEA2018 datasets, especially when the signal-to-noise ratio is low.
