Abstract
Speech communication plays a crucial role in the Internet of Things and autonomous networks. However, traditional communication systems suffer from insufficient semantic extraction and limited noise suppression capability. To address these issues, we propose a Speech enhancement-based Deep Semantic Autoencoder (S-DSA) communication system for wireless communications. It consists of a dual-branch semantic encoder, a channel encoder, a channel decoder, and two semantic decoders, enabling joint source-channel coding for robust transmission. A key novelty lies in an adaptive semantic noise decoupling mechanism that disentangles target speech semantics from noise representations through an interaction module, thus maintaining semantic consistency under low SNR conditions. Furthermore, a joint training strategy optimizes speech reconstruction and noise estimation, while a lightweight testing strategy reduces complexity by disabling the noise-decoding path. The proposed S-DSA enables more effective separation between speech and noise, and yields higher robustness as well as better reconstruction quality. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed S-DSA as a practical solution for next-generation intelligent wireless communications.
