Summary

SCALE reuses similar tokens across time and schedules semantic gain against bandwidth and real-time deadlines.

The method matches tokens between consecutive latent messages, profiles the gain and cost of sending different amounts of representation, and schedules pending transmissions under bandwidth and deadline limits. Across three cyber-physical benchmarks and a physical spider-robot case study, the authors report higher task performance and on-time delivery in constrained networks. The results do not establish general network efficiency outside the tested models and conditions.
