| contents | Semantic communication stands out as a highly promising avenue for future developments in communications. Theoretically, source compression coding based on semantics can achieve lower rates than Shannon entropy. This paper introduces a semantic Huffman coding built upon semantic information theory. By incorporating synonymous mapping and synonymous sets, semantic Huffman coding can achieve shorter average code lengths. Furthermore, we demonstrate that semantic Huffman coding theoretically have the capability to approximate semantic entropy. Experimental results indicate that, under the condition of semantic lossless, semantic Huffman coding exhibits clear advantages in compression efficiency over classical Huffman coding. |
