The recent developments in the field of wireless communication and multiple access networks are significantly influenced by the integration of advanced signal processing techniques and semantic communication approaches. A notable trend is the shift towards more efficient and robust methods for handling interference and improving energy efficiency in multi-user environments. Innovations such as semantic successive interference cancellation (SIC) and the use of deep learning for semantic communication are paving the way for more intelligent and context-aware communication systems. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on addressing the challenges posed by asynchronous and unsourced multiple access channels, with novel algorithms and decoding strategies being proposed to mitigate error floors and improve performance under various delay constraints. The exploration of sequence spreading techniques in semantic communication also highlights the field's move towards enhancing system robustness against high radio frequency interference, ensuring reliable communication in industrial settings.
