摘要

摘要: 该文综述了多模态通信作为一种能够同时交互多种模态形式的信息转移方式在不同应用场景下的重要性及其未来在6G无线通信技术中的发展前景。首先，将多模态通信分为3类，并探讨了其在这些领域中的关键作用。随后，针对6G无线通信系统可能面临的通信、感知、计算和存储资源限制以及跨域资源管理问题进行了深入剖析，指出未来的6G无线多模态通信将实现通感算存的深度融合和通信能力的提升。在多模态通信实现过程中，必须考虑多个环节，包括多发送端处理、传输技术和接收端处理等，以解决多模态语料库构建、多模态信息压缩、传输、干扰处理、降噪、对齐、融合和扩充等方面的挑战，以及资源管理问题。最后，强调了6G网络的跨域多模态信息转移、互补和协同的重要性，这将更好地整合和应用海量异构信息，以满足未来高速、低延迟、智能互联的通信需求。

Abstract: An overview of multimodal communication as an important information transfer mode that can simultaneously interact with multiple modal forms in different application scenarios is proposed in this paper. The future development prospects of multimodal communication in 6G wireless communication technology is also discussed. Firstly, multimodal communication is classified into three categories, and its key roles in these fields are explored. Furthermore, a deep analysis is conducted on the communication, sensation, computation, and storage resource limitations, as well as cross-domain resource management issues that 6G wireless communication systems may face. It points out that future 6G wireless multimodal communication will achieve deep integration of communication perception, computation, and storage, as well as enhance communication capabilities. In the process of implementing multimodal communication, various aspects must be considered, including multi-transmitter processing, transmission technology, and receiver processing, in order to address challenges in multimodal corpus construction, multimodal information compression, transmission, interference handling, noise reduction, alignment, fusion, and expansion, as well as resource management issues. Finally, the importance of cross-domain multimodal information transfer, complementarity, and collaboration in the 6G network is emphasized. This will better integrate and apply a massive amount of heterogeneous information to meet the future communication demands of high-speed, low-latency, and intelligent interconnection.
