Abstract

The project aims to create an experimental environment to evaluate semantic communication techniques, investigating their practical implementation difficulties and potential benefits compared to classical communication, using an open radio stack and software-defined radio (SDR). From a bibliographical research, the theoretical foundation necessary for the implementation of the experimental environment of semantic communication will be constructed. Then, the practical part will begin, involving the selection of the most suitable radio stack and the development of the experimental environment. Finally, tests will be carried out to validate the implementation and evaluate the performance of semantic communication.
