Abstract
In this paper, the problem of joint transmission and computation resource allocation for a multi-user probabilistic semantic communication (PSC) network is investigated. In the considered model, users employ semantic information extraction techniques to compress their large-sized raw data before transmitting them to a multi-antenna base station (BS). Our model represents the raw data through comprehensive knowledge graphs, utilizing shared probability graphs between users and the BS for efficient semantic compression. The resource allocation problem is formulated as an optimization problem with the objective of maximizing the sum of equivalent rate of all users, considering total power budget constraint. This joint optimization problem inherently addresses the delicate balance between transmission efficiency and computational complexity. To address this optimization challenge, we present an iterative algorithm in which the optimal solution for the semantic compression ratio of a specific user is determined at each iteration. Numerical results validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
