Semantic coding transmission method and application for industrial internet
The integration of semantic communication technology into industrial networks is proposed and a semantic coding transmission system for the industrial internet is established. Within this system,a semantic codec is developed to extract semantic information from the source. Compared with traditional communication systems, semantic-based communication offers higher information compression efficiency and greater symbol error tolerance. Furthermore, a co-codec for joint source-channel coding have been introduced, which enhances the utilization efficiency of industrial network communication resources through co-coding techniques. All codecs are built upon leading deep neural network architecture “Transformer”, ensuring their ability to comprehend semantic information and maintain network universality. The system has been tested in real-world scenarios within industrial drug production facilities, demonstrating significant improvements in image reconstruction quality and transmission processing speed compared to traditional communication schemes. Additionally, minimal impact on downstream task performance ensures accuracy in critical tasks such as defect detection in industrial production processes.
