Communications and Networks for Physical AI

Communications and Networks for Physical AI: agents superpose semantic tokens on one shared radio block and a transformer receiver separates them for physical AI tasks
Goal
  • Designing communications and networks that let many physical AI agents (cameras, robots, drones) share scarce wireless resources and still act in real time, by transmitting the meaning of what they sense instead of raw bits
Approach
  • Semantic multiple access: superposing the semantic embeddings of multiple agents on a single shared resource block with learned inter-user positional encoding
  • Transformer receiver that separates each agent by query-based attention, without successive interference cancellation
  • Over-the-air validation on a software-defined radio (USRP) testbed
