Utility-Oriented Communications for 6G Mobile Networks and the Metaverse: Semantic, Task-Oriented, Goal-Oriented, and More

Utility-oriented communications consider communication quality metrics traditionally used in bit-oriented communication, such as latency, bit error rate (BER), quality of experience (QoE), and quality of service (QoS), and achieves the ideal utility by encompassing evaluation methods for communication quality in existing communication paradigms such as semantic similarity in semantic communication, task completion in Task-Oriented communication (TOC) and quality of collaboration in Goal-Oriented communications (GOC). We present a utility-oriented communication system for leverages 6G-enabled technologies to support real-time synchronization of IoT-collected data to the metaverse, ensuring rapid and accurate updates of digital twins and optimizing network performance.
