TY  - JOUR
AB  - Recent progress in deep learning (DL)-based joint source-channel coding (DeepJSCC) has led to a new paradigm of semantic communications. Two salient features of DeepJSCC-based semantic communications are the exploitation of semantic-aware features directly from the source signal, and the discrete-time analog transmission (DTAT) of these features. Compared with traditional digital communications, semantic communications with DeepJSCC provide superior reconstruction performance at the receiver and graceful degradation with diminishing channel quality, but also exhibit a large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in the transmitted signal. An open question has been whether the gains of DeepJSCC come at the expense of high-PAPR continuous-amplitude signal, which can limit its adoption in practice. In this letter, we first show that conventional DeepJSCC does suffer from high PAPR. Then, we explore three PAPR reduction techniques and confirm that the superior image reconstruction performance of DeepJSCC can be retained while the PAPR is suppressed to an acceptable level. This is an important step towards the implementation of DeepJSCC in practical semantic communication systems.
