From Semantic to Token Communication: The Next Paradigm for Large-Model-Driven 6G Intelligent Connectivity

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 9, 2026 · UTC

The ambitious requirements of sixth-generation (6G) networks are driving communication systems from reliable bit delivery toward meaning-aware and task-oriented connectivity. Large models (LMs), with strong multimodal understanding and generation capabilities, have accelerated this shift and made semantic communication (SemCom) increasingly practical. Yet current LM-driven SemCom remains fragmented: semantic representations are typically tied to specific modalities, models, or tasks. While the bit provides a universal unit for digital transport, there is still no analogous unit for representin
