Multihop cellular: from research to systems, standards, and applications [Guest Editorial]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
It has been more than a decade since the multihop cellular network (MCN) architecture was first proposed and analyzed in 2000 [1]. As the transmission range decreasesktimes, the number of simultaneous transmissions and hop count increase byk2times andktimes, respectively, which leads toktimes cellular capacity increase. Fundamental research projects have demonstrated the benefits of MCN in terms of system capacity, service coverage, and network connectivity. Many special issues have been devoted to this stream of research [2–6]. The actual concept behind the MCN architecture could be regarded as a hybrid of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and cellular networks. This concept of "relaying within a cell" also pushed standard bodies to consider solutions embedded with mesh or ad hoc architectures, such as IEEE 802.11s [7], IEEE 802.15.5 [8], and IEEE 802.16j [9]. Now, in the recent standards of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), Proximity-Based Services (ProSe) [10, 11] related work items also cover the MCN concept. In addition to device-to-device (D2D) direct communications, user equipment (UE)–UE relay and UE–network relay are also supported features. Both infrastructural and infrastructureless architectures are considered. Among many use cases, the most urgent one is public safety. These show that MCN architecture realization is ongoing.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
