Optimizing Effectiveness-Aware Information Exchange for Goal-Oriented Semantic Communication

The traditional maximalist approach to designing communication systems is increasingly misaligned with today's evolving connectivity demands. Cyber-physical systems require a shift toward real-time multimodal communication, autonomous decision-making, and efficient distributed…

Pull-Based Query Scheduling for Goal-Oriented Semantic Communication​

This paper addresses query scheduling for goal-oriented semantic communication in pull-based status update systems. We consider a system where multiple sensing agents (SAs) observe a source characterized by various attributes…

Integrated Push-and-Pull Update Model for Goal-Oriented Effective Communication​

This paper studies decision-making for goal-oriented effective communication. We consider an end-to-end status update system where a sensing agent (SA) observes a source, generates and transmits updates to an actuation…

Goal-Oriented Multiple Access Connectivity for Networked Intelligent Systems​

We design a self-decision goal-oriented multiple access scheme, where sensing agents observe a common event and individually decide to communicate the event’s attributes as updates to the monitoring agents, to…

Effective Communication: When to Pull Updates?​

We study a pull-based communication system where a sensing agent updates an actuation agent using a query control policy, which is adjusted in the evolution of an observed information source…

Semantic Filtering and Source Coding in Distributed Wireless Monitoring Systems​

The problem of goal-oriented semantic filtering and timely source coding in multiuser communication systems is considered here. We study a distributed monitoring system in which multiple information sources, each observing…

Semantic Source Coding for Two Users with Heterogeneous Goals​

We study a multiuser system in which an information source provides status updates to two monitors with heterogeneous goals. Semantic filtering is first performed to select the most useful realizations…

Semantics-Aware Source Coding in Status Update Systems​

We consider a communication system in which the destination receives status updates from an information source that observes a physical process. The transmitter performs semantics-empowered filtering as a means to…
