Ada-TokenCom is a rate‑adaptive token communication framework that uses large autoregressive models to compress and transmit tokens efficiently. It combines next‑token prediction with arithmetic coding, sending only the most informative tokens and letting the receiver generate the rest. A Lyapunov‑based algorithm dynamically adjusts compression and modulation to match changing network conditions, and simulations show it outperforms existing digital and deep joint source‑channel coding baselines.

The paper introduces TokCode, a token encoding framework that enhances robustness in generative semantic communication by restructuring redundancy in the semantic domain. TokCode leverages a lightweight adapter to transform a large language model into a token encoder, avoiding the need for a dedicated deep model. A channel-quality-aware distillation method (CADET) trains the adapter across diverse erasure rates, producing a reconfigurable low‑rank adapter that enables efficient reinforcement learning and achieves significant improvements in image similarity over existing receiver‑side recovery benchmarks.

The paper introduces a token‑oriented semantic communication framework that transmits only task‑relevant image latents instead of full token embeddings, reducing communication cost and improving interoperability. It leverages a spatial alignment between vision transformer patch tokens and learned image compression latents, enabling token‑level relevance estimation and selective transmission. Experiments on ImageNet demonstrate a superior rate–accuracy trade‑off compared to existing semantic communication methods and hand‑crafted codecs.
