Abstract
Resource management, security, and privacy stand as fundamental pillars for the reliable and secure operation of efficient semantic communications (SC) system. By addressing these aspects, SC system can pave the way for efficient resource utilization, improved network efficiency, enhanced communication performance, and protection of sensitive information. In this study, we begin by presenting the background of SC and reviewing several existing studies in this field. Subsequently, we provide a comprehensive and exhaustive survey of resource management, security, and privacy in SC. We identify and highlight existing challenges and open research challenges related to resource management, security, and privacy in SC in order to spur further investigation in these areas.
