contents Semantic communication (SemCom) aims to enhance the resource efficiency of next-generation networks by transmitting the underlying meaning of messages, focusing on information relevant to the end user. Existing literature on SemCom primarily emphasizes learning the encoder and decoder through end-to-end deep learning frameworks, with the objective of minimizing a task-specific semantic loss function. Beyond its influence on the physical and application layer design, semantic variability across users in multi-user systems enables the design of resource allocation schemes that incorporate user-specific semantic requirements. To this end, \emph{a semantic-aware resource allocation} scheme is proposed with the objective of maximizing transmission and semantic reliability, ultimately increasing the number of users whose semantic requirements are met. The resulting resource allocation problem is a non-convex mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP), which is known to be NP-hard. To make the problem tractable, it is decomposed into a set of sub-problems, each of which is efficiently solved via geometric programming techniques. Finally, simulations demonstrate that the proposed method improves user satisfaction by up to $17.1\%$ compared to state of the art methods based on quality of experience-aware SemCom methods.
