contents Semantic communications, which focus on transmitting the semantic meaning of data, have been proposed as a novel paradigm for achieving efficient and relevant communication. Meanwhile, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enhances spectral efficiency by allowing multiple users to share the same spectrum. However, semantic communications are unlikely to fully replace conventional bit-level communications in the near future, as the latter remain dominant. Therefore, integrating semantic users into a NOMA network alongside conventional bit-based users becomes a meaningful approach to improve both transmission and spectrum efficiency. Nonetheless, due to the lack of a mathematical model that accurately characterizes the relationship between the performance of semantic transceivers and wireless resource allocation, enhancing performance through resource optimization remains a challenge. Moreover, successive interference cancellation (SIC), a key technique in NOMA, introduces additional complexity in system design and implementation. To address these challenges, this paper first improves the deep semantic communication (DeepSC) transceiver to make it adaptive to varying wireless transmission conditions. Subsequently, a data-driven regression approach is employed to develop a mathematical model that captures the impact of wireless resources on semantic transceiver performance. In parallel, a multi-cluster hybrid NOMA (H-NOMA) framework is proposed, where each cluster consists of one semantic user and one bit-based user, to mitigate the complexity introduced by SIC. A total transmit power minimization problem is then formulated by jointly optimizing the beamforming design, bandwidth allocation, and semantic symbol factor.
