Cloud-Edge Collaborative Personalized Deployment of Knowledge Bases in Semantic Communications

With the rapid evolution of next-generation mobile communications, semantic communication has emerged as an intelligent communication paradigm capable of surpassing the Shannon limit. A fundamental prerequisite for this paradigm is the synchronization of background knowledge between the transmitter and receiver, making the semantic knowledge base (SKB) a critical cornerstone. However, effectively selecting appropriate content from massive cloud-based knowledge repositories for edge deployment remains a significant challenge. This paper conducts systematic research to address the key issues in the flow deployment of SKBs at the edge, including insufficient adaptation to personalized preferences, inadequate timeliness management, and the complexity of multi-objective optimization. First, a comprehensive system model is constructed, integrating user preferences, knowledge relevance, transceiver matching degree, and the Age of Information (AOI). Second, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-assisted Preference-based Reinforcement Learning (GaPbRL) algorithm is proposed. The experimental results demonstrate that this method outperforms traditional schemes in terms of knowledge-base hit rate, transceiver matching degree, and algorithm convergence speed, while significantly reducing the overhead of manual fine-tuning. This study provides a robust framework for the personalized and efficient cloud-edge collaborative deployment of SKBs.
