TokCom introduces a revolutionary framework that leverages large language models to enable efficient, context-aware communications across different modalities.

• Transforms communication units into tokens for efficient transformer-based processing
• Enables cross-modal context utilization, improving semantic understanding
• Builds on recent advances in generative foundation models and multimodal LLMs
• Creates opportunities for more intelligent and adaptive wireless networks

Engineering Impact: This research represents a fundamental shift in communication system design, where semantic understanding and contextual awareness become central to network efficiency and performance.
