Communication Beyond Transmitting Bits: Semantics-Guided Source and Channel Coding. (arXiv:2208.02481v1 [cs.IT])

Classical communication paradigms focus on accurately transmitting bits over
a noisy channel, and Shannon theory provides a fundamental theoretical limit on
the rate of reliable communications. In this approach, bits are treated
equally, and the communication system is oblivious to what meaning these bits
convey or how they would be used. Future communications towards intelligence
and conciseness will predictably play a dominant role, and the proliferation of
connected intelligent agents requires a radical rethinking of coded
transmission paradigm to support …
