Report Abstract:

In the future intelligent society, a large number of sensors will be widely used in environmental monitoring and other aspects. Traditional methods transmit sensor data to cloud servers, which can perform arbitrary post-processing on the data. However, as the number of sensors surges, transmission delay and processing delay greatly limit the real-time performance of the system. Under the framework of semantic communication, for specific applications, over-the-air computing combines communication and computing, effectively improving the scalability of the system. This report briefly introduces the background of semantic communication, the basic concepts of over-the-air computing, and shares the relevant research results in over-the-air computing.
