contents We consider cooperative semantic text communications facilitated by a relay node. We propose two types of semantic forwarding: semantic lossy forwarding (SLF) and semantic predict-and-forward (SPF). Both are machine learning aided approaches, and, in particular, utilize attention mechanisms at the relay to establish a dynamic semantic state, updated upon receiving a new source signal. In the SLF model, the semantic state is used to decode the received source signal; whereas in the SPF model, it is used to predict the next source signal, enabling proactive forwarding. Our proposed forwarding schemes do not need any channel state information and exhibit consistent performance regardless of the relay's position. Our results demonstrate that the proposed semantic forwarding techniques outperform conventional semantic-agnostic baselines.
