Semantic communications transmit task-specific information instead of complete messages, enabling efficiency and reduced data transmission. This requires new semantic-aware models, departing from traditional mathematical approaches. Defining reliable metrics and designing performance strategies based on these metrics are key considerations in semantic communication systems.

The goal of this project is to study the theoretical foundations of semantic communications in wireless networks. First, we build a basic framework for the semantic communication, using information-theoretical concepts. Then, using the model and the strategy, the goal is to derive the lower and upper bounds on the capacity of this model (characterizing the fundamental limits) and to extend the basic model to the wireless networks (using communication theoretic approaches), considering their effects such as fading, randomly located users, etc.
