Digital-Analog Semantic Communication for Emergency Wireless Image Transmission
A hybrid transmission framework (DA-ESemCom) for post-disaster emergency wireless networks that sends scene images over UDP without retransmission. A lightweight analog deep-learning semantic codec carries the image content, while a digital distributed-source-coding branch (DCT plus quantization plus LDPC syndrome bits, QPSK modulated) corrects residual errors at a well-resourced receiver. A performance-constrained semantic coding model treats semantic and channel noise jointly, and a derived Cramer-Rao lower bound guides codec design. Over Rayleigh fading channels the framework beats classical separated source-channel coding and deep JSCC baselines on PSNR, MS-SSIM, LPIPS, and YOLO object-detection mAP.
