Appropriate control of wireless networks with flow level dynamics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We consider the network control problem for wireless networks with flow level dynamics under the general k-hop interference model. In particular, we investigate the control problem in low load and high load regimes. In the low load regime, we show that the network can be stabilized by a regulated maximal scheduling policy considering flow level dynamics if the offered load satisfies a constraining bound condition. Because maximal matching is a general scheduling rule whose implementation is not specified, we propose a constant-time and distributed scheduling algorithm for a general k-hop interference model which can approximate the maximal scheduling policy within an arbitrarily small error. Under the stability condition, we show how to calculate transmission rates for different user classes such that the long-term (time average) network utility is maximized. Our results imply that congestion control is unnecessary when the offered load is low and optimal user rates can be determined to maximize users' long-term satisfaction. In the high load regime where the network can be unstable under the regulated maximal scheduling policy, we propose the cross-layer congestion control and scheduling algorithm which can stabilize the network under arbitrary network load. Through numerical analysis for some typical networks, we show that the proposed scheduling algorithm has much lower overhead than other existing queue-length-based constant-time scheduling schemes in the literature, and it achieves performance much better than the guaranteed bound. In addition, using congestion control in the low load condition results in much lower average utility compared to that due to the optimal transmission rate derived in the paper.

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.
