用视觉变压器的令牌对齐技术，实现边缘设备与服务器间的高效语义通信。

Token communications realize the semantic communication principle at the granularity of transformer tokens, providing a promising direction for client--server collaborative inference in resource-constrained edge systems. However, directly transmitting token embeddings presents two practical challenges: substantial communication cost and limited interoperability across model-specific token embedding spaces. To address these challenges, we propose a \emph{token-oriented} semantic communication framework. In this framework, token-level task relevance determines which compressed image latents are transmitted, enabling token-granular transmission without directly transmitting token embeddings. The framework is modular, coordinating three pretrained components---a lightweight client-side vision transformer (ViT), a learned image compression (LIC) model, and a large server-side ViT---without end-to-end training. The key enabler is the one-to-one spatial alignment between ViT patch tokens and the LIC latent vectors, which allows token-level task relevance to directly determine which latent vectors are transmitted. Building on this alignment, token-aligned LIC selectively transmits task-relevant latents, layer-selective attention rollout estimates token relevance from a selected range of attention layers in a single forward pass, and surrogate token substitution adapts the frozen server model by optimizing a single learnable token. Experiments on ImageNet show that the proposed framework achieves a more favorable rate--accuracy trade-off than recent semantic communication schemes, hand-crafted codecs, and task-agnostic LIC models.
