Edge inference is a promising paradigm to provide large language model (LLM) inference services in next-generation mobile networks. LLM inference mainly relies on two approaches: Autoregressive decoding (AD) generates output tokens sequentially, resulting in long latency; Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates inference by using a small language model (SLM) to generate multiple draft tokens for LLM verification, but incurs extra memory costs.
S2-MoE is a self‑speculative decoding framework designed to make Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) inference more efficient on edge devices. It reduces verification overhead by using routing‑aware adaptive speculative expansion, improves verification efficiency with reuse‑aware expert gating, and aligns draft and target execution through shared context. Implemented in llama.cpp, S2‑MoE delivers up to 5.3× speedup (≈2.0× on average) over standard autoregressive decoding across various MoE models and datasets on edge hardware.

The paper introduces COMLLM, a generative framework that combines Group Relative Policy Optimization with a Look‑Ahead Collaborative Simulation to enable multi‑turn reasoning for task offloading in Mobile Edge Computing. By performing multi‑step Monte Carlo rollouts that jointly model server queue dynamics, COMLLM incorporates long‑term system evolution into its reward design, achieving near‑optimal latency and improved load‑balancing fairness. The framework demonstrates zero‑shot scalability to larger network topologies, outperforming supervised fine‑tuning, deep reinforcement learning, and heuristic baselines without requiring retraining.

Diffusion language models (DLMs) provide a non‑autoregressive approach for mobile edge agentic AI, refining tokens through iterative denoising instead of left‑to‑right decoding. They can update multiple uncertain tokens in parallel and use bidirectional context, allowing flexible quality‑latency trade‑offs and early exits that reduce response delay and communication overhead. The survey reviews DLM foundations, resource‑efficient architectures, training and inference acceleration, compression, deployment strategies, and discusses open issues such as long‑context management, split inference, and trustworthy execution.
