Abstract
Novel mobility-aware resource allocation schemes have recently been introduced for efficient transmission of stored videos. The essence of such mechanisms is to lookahead at the future rates users will experience, and then strategically buffer content into user devices when they are at peak radio conditions. For example, a user approaching poor coverage will be preallocated additional video segments to ensure smooth streaming. Advances in mobility prediction and real-time radio environment map updates are driving forces for such Predictive Video Streaming (PVS) mechanisms. Although previous efforts have demonstrated the large potential gains of PVS, ideal channel predictions were assumed. This paper addresses the problem of channel uncertainty in PVS, and proposes a robust resource allocation framework that 1) models channel uncertainty, 2) solves the PVS problem with a tunable level of quality of service guarantees, and 3) learns the degree of uncertainty, and adapts the channel model accordingly. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for PVS under channel variability.

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
