| contents | Semantic communication (SemCom) has emerged as a promising paradigm that leverages Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to extract task-relevant information, thereby substantially reducing the volume of transmitted data. In existing implementations, the semantic transceiver is typically pre-trained for a specific task and uniformly adopted by all users. However, due to user heterogeneity in computational and communication capabilities, employing a single, fixed semantic transceiver may degrade the coding efficiency and transmission robustness. To address this issue, we first demonstrate the feasibility of dynamically adjusting the computational and communication overhead of DNN-based semantic transceivers, enabling a more flexible paradigm referred to as Adaptive Semantic Communication (ASC). Building on this concept, we formulate a joint user association and resource allocation problem for ASC in 5G and beyond networks, aiming to maximize overall system utility under energy and latency constraints. However, the problem is very challenging due to the inherent interdependencies among decision variables. To tackle this complexity, we decompose the original problem into three subproblems: (i) ASC scheme selection for each user, (ii) spectrum allocation at each Small-cell Base Station (SBS), and (iii) user association across SBSs. Each subproblem is solved sequentially based on the solutions of the preceding stages. The proposed algorithm efficiently yields near-optimal solutions with polynomial-time complexity. Simulation results demonstrate our approach outperforms existing baselines under various situations. |
