Knowledge Distillation Driven Semantic NOMA with GAN Refinement for 6G Robotic Vehicle Networks

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces KDG‑SemNOMA, a framework for 6G robotic vehicle networks that combines knowledge distillation and generative models to improve semantic communication over uplink non‑orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). It employs a ConvNeXt‑based deep joint source‑channel coding architecture with an enhanced attention feature module for dynamic channel adaptation, and uses an orthogonal teacher model to guide a NOMA student model via two‑stage knowledge distillation. A channel‑conditional GAN further refines the reconstructed images, yielding higher pixel‑level accuracy and perceptual fidelity on the FFHQ‑256 dataset compared to state‑of‑the‑art methods.

GAN-Based Semantic Communication for Image Transmission in IoV

The paper introduces a GAN‑based semantic communication framework for image transmission in the Internet of Vehicles, aiming to overcome bandwidth and channel limitations. At the transmitter, a pyramid attention network extracts semantic label maps and a priority mechanism assigns weights to categories based on driving safety, guiding bit allocation and loss design. The receiver reconstructs images using a coarse‑to‑fine multi‑resolution generator, multi‑scale discriminator, temporal consistency, spatial pyramid pooling, and class‑aware convolutions, achieving high‑fidelity results with combined adversarial, feature‑matching, and perceptual losses. Experiments on Cityscapes demonstrate superior semantic segmentation accuracy and image quality compared to existing methods, with stable performance under AWGN and Rayleigh channels.

Grid-Preserving Knowledge Distillation: Transferring Convolutional Inductive Bias to Vision Transformers under Data Scarcity

Vision Transformers underperform convolutional networks when training data is scarce, and distilling convolutional inductive biases from a CNN teacher is an effective remedy that leaves the deployed model unchanged. General-purpose feature distillation, however, transfers little in this setting.
