Semantic communications is an emerging and transformative research area, where the focus shifts from transmitting raw data to conveying meaningful information. While initial models and design solutions have laid foundational principles, they often rest on strong assumptions regarding the extraction, representation, and interpretation of semantic content. The advent of 6G networks introduces new challenges, particularly with the growing need for multi-agent systems where multiple AI-driven agents interact seamlessly.
In this context, the challenge of semantic alignment becomes critical. Existing literature on multi-agent semantic communications frequently assumes that all agents share a common understanding and interpretation framework, a condition rarely met in practical scenarios. Misaligned representations can lead to communication inefficiencies, loss of critical information, and misinterpretations.
This PhD research aims to advance the state-of-the-art by investigating the principles of semantic representation, alignment, and reasoning in multi-AI agent environments within 6G communication networks. The study will explore how agents can dynamically align their semantic models, ensuring consistent interpretation of messages while accounting for differences in context, objectives, and prior knowledge. By leveraging techniques from artificial intelligence, such as machine learning, ontology alignment, and multi-agent reasoning, the goal is to propose novel frameworks that enhance communication efficiency and effectiveness in multi-agent settings. This work will contribute to more adaptive, intelligent, and context-aware communication systems that are key to the evolution of 6G networks.
