Abstract
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard, which supports low-cost communications, has been applied in a variety of wireless networks. Developing accurate analytical models for the IEEE 802.15.4 medium access control (MAC) protocol is critical for the design and performance evaluation of such networks. Periodic traffic is a common traffic pattern generated in many practical application scenarios, for which most existing analytical models assuming either saturated or random network traffic patterns become inapplicable. In this paper, we develop an accurate and scalable analytical model to analyze the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol with the periodic traffic. Our model can accurately capture the protocol stochastic behavior in each period in scenarios such as with or without retransmissions and with single clear channel assessment (CCA) or double CCAs. Extensive simulations are conducted to validate the proposed model by both transient and aggregate performance evaluations, and the results show that the model captures MAC behavior with periodic traffic accurately. We also discuss about extending the proposed model to account for heterogeneous scenarios and the hidden node problem.

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
