| contents | Semantic communication (SemComm) has emerged as a new communication paradigm. To enhance efficiency, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology has been further integrated into SemComm systems. However, existing MIMO SemComm systems assume perfect channel matrix estimation for channel-adaptive joint source-channel coding, which is impractical due to hardware and pilot overhead constraints. In this paper, we propose a semantic image transmission system with channel matrix and channel noise adaptation, named HANA-JSCC, to cope with channel estimation errors in MIMO systems. We propose a channel matrix adaptor that collaborates with the channel codec to adapt to misaligned channel state information, thereby mitigating the impact of estimation errors. Since the relationship between the estimated channel matrix and true channel matrix is ill-posed (one-to-many), we further introduce a two-stage training strategy with knowledge distillation to overcome the convergence difficulties caused by the ill-posed problem. Comparing with the state-of-the-art benchmarks, HANA-JSCC achieves $0.40\sim0.54$dB higher average performance across various noise and estimation error levels in various datasets. |
