| contents | This paper addresses the challenge of integrating semantic communication principles into operated networks, traditionally optimized based on network-centric metrics rather than application-specific needs. Operated networks strongly adhere to the principle of ``separation of concerns", which emphasizes a clear distinction between network operation and application. Despite the initial perceived incompatibility between semantic communication and the principles of operated networks, this paper provides solutions to reconcile them. The foundations of these solutions include the adoption of non-arbitrary semantic representations as a standard encoding for communications, the establishment of a standard interface between the application and network, and a dedicated network control plane. These enable the application to describe the data typology and the nature of the task, and to agree upon a transmission scheme tailored to the supported task. Through three scenarios involving an application transmitting text representations, we illustrate the implementation of the proposal and demonstrate the potential of the approach. |
