Token Encoding for Semantic Recovery
In generative semantic communication, semantic tokens guide receiver-side generative models to synthesize high-dimensional content. In challenging network environments, however, frequent token erasure distorts the conveyed semantics beyond what receiver-side recovery can restore. In this paper, we propose a token encoding framework (TokCode) for robust semantic recovery, achieving erasure resilience by restructuring redundancy in the semantic domain. TokCode uses a lightweight adapter to recast a general-purpose large language model (LLM) at the transmitter into a token encoder, exploiting the LLM's pretrained semantic prior to avoid introducing a dedicated deep model. To optimize the ada...
