Abstract
This paper studies semantic-aware sub-band al- location for terahertz (THz) communication systems, where frequency-selective molecular absorption creates highly non- uniform sub-band qualities. Unlike conventional formulations, semantic fidelity depends nonlinearly on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and is also sentence-specific, leading to a non-separable assignment problem that is generally not solvable using simple ordering-based policies. To address this, we use a sentence-BERT (SBERT)-based surrogate model that predicts semantic fidelity from the sentence embedding and sub-band SNR. We propose an importance-aware scheduler that assigns sentences to sub- bands based on their semantic contribution using an oracle utility function that captures importance-weighted semantic similarity across sentence-sub-band pairs. A neural scheduler is then trained through imitation learning to approximate the oracle policy at more than 200x lower runtime than full DeepSC- based oracle evaluation. Integrated with a deep-learning-enabled semantic communication (DeepSC) system, the proposed method consistently outperforms all benchmark schemes and approaches oracle-level performance under realistic THz channel conditions.
