The development of emerging applications, such as autonomous transportation systems, is
expected to result in an explosive growth in mobile data traffic. As the available spectrum …

Existing communication systems are mainly built based on Shannon's information theory,
which deliberately ignores the semantic aspects of communication. The recent iteration of …

With the increasing demand for intelligent services, the sixth-generation (6G) wireless
networks will shift from a traditional architecture that focuses solely on a high transmission …

The rapid proliferation of new devices has led to the Internet of Things (IoT), a network
where virtually any object equipped with a radio interface can be connected. Accordingly …

In Shannon theory, semantic aspects of communication were identified but considered
irrelevant to the technical communication problems. Semantic communication (SC) …

Modern communications are usually designed to pursue a higher bit-level precision and
fewer bits while transmitting a message. This article rethinks these two major features and …

It is our pleasure to share with you this Special Issue, which brings together a diverse set of
articles dealing with various aspects of semantic and goal-oriented communications …

Semantic communication is viewed as a revolutionary paradigm that can potentially
transform how we design and operate wireless communication systems. However, despite a …

A radical paradigm shift of wireless networks from``connected things''to``connected
intelligence''undergoes, which coincides with the Shanno and Weaver's envisions …

One of the major bottlenecks toward realizing IoT systems is the energy constraint of
sensors. Prolonging network lifetime is a fundamental issue for implementing IoT systems …
