Abstract

In this paper, we explore the application of semantic communication in Internet of Things (IoT) networks, taking into account the limited computing resources of IoT devices. We propose a resource-efficient asymmetric autoencoder framework that leverages weight pruning and quantization techniques to compress the encoder model on IoT devices. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed encoder-only pruning model achieves up to 98% model compression without any performance degradation. Furthermore, even with 8-bit quantization applied, the pruned model exhibits no performance loss.
