Low-Latency Task-Oriented Image Transmission with Opportunistic Spectrum Access

arXiv:2607. 01921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Communication systems designed for reliable data reconstruction, rather than task-oriented communication, typically rely on separate source and channel coding and incur high latency under limited spectrum availability and fading channels.

Semantic CSI Feedback for Beam Selection: When Task-Aware Embeddings from Sparse Pilots Outperform Full-Bandwidth Reconstruction

The paper introduces a semantic communication approach for CSI feedback in FDD massive MIMO, where the UE sends a learned embedding optimized for beam selection rather than reconstructing the full channel. Experiments show that an 8‑dimensional embedding derived from just 43 NR CSI‑RS pilots in the angular‑delay domain achieves the best beam prediction accuracy, surpassing methods that use the entire 512‑subcarrier channel. This demonstrates that beam‑relevant information is inherently low‑dimensional, allowing the semantic encoder to discard irrelevant details and transmit only the intent needed for beam selection.

Contrastive Predictive Coding with Compression for Enhanced Channel State Feedback in Wireless Networks

arXiv:2607. 05419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate and timely channel state information (CSI) is essential for next-generation wireless systems, yet existing works treat CSI compression and CSI prediction as separate problems, both in academia and in current 3GPP studies.

Foundation Models for Generalizable Semantic and Goal-Oriented Communication

The paper introduces FMSGOC, a framework that leverages visual‑linguistic foundation models to improve semantic and goal‑oriented communication for 6G. By transmitting a sparse set of semantic anchors and using a pretrained diffusion model for masked completion, it reduces overfitting and achieves high rate efficiency, reaching 0.039 BPP while maintaining strong semantic fidelity and robustness on unseen data.
