Abstract
Age of Information (AoI) is an end-to-end metric that can capture one semantic property known as the timeliness of information, which is essential in status-updating systems. Semantics of Information (SoI) captures properties of information that relate to the "goal" and "purpose" of information, which is to improve the performance of systems using the information. As a new paradigm shift toward 6G communications systems, SoI will create systems that generate, process, and transmit only a small fraction of information. Thus, they consume less energy and channel resources without sacrificing their effectiveness.
信息时代(Age of Information, AoI)是一个端到端度量,它可以捕获一种称为信息时效性的语义属性,这在状态更新系统中是必不可少的。信息语义(SoI)捕获与信息的“目标”和“目的”相关的信息属性,这是为了提高使用信息的系统的性能。随着向6G通信系统的新范式转变,SoI将创建仅生成、处理和传输一小部分信息的系统。因此,他们消耗更少的能源和渠道资源,而不牺牲他们的效率。
