Abstract
The 802.11e standard draft provides new features for supporting QoS in the MAC layer of the popular 802.11 wireless LAN standard. These features, however, do not provide the final solution, and the standard intentionally leaves the door open for further enhancements using these features. In this article we present our standard-based solutions for enhancing the performance of the 802.11e MAC. The proposed solutions work with the contention and controlled access parts of the 802.11e. For contention access we use dynamic configuration of the MAC parameters and increase the throughput significantly. For controlled access, we introduce an alternative to the PCF round robin polling and propose a fair scheduling algorithm that uses the 802.11e features and provides fair and prioritized access to individual stations or queues.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
