Abstract
We introduce an improved image transmission scheme over wireless channels with flat Rayleigh fading. The proposed scheme jointly optimizes bit power and modulation level to maximize the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the reconstructed image and hence improves the perceptual quality of the received image. In this optimization process, the significance of bits with regard to the overall quality of the image is exploited. The optimality of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated using the Lagrange method and verified through an iterative offline exhaustive search algorithm. For practical implementation, a look-up table is used at the transmitter for assigning the bit power and modulation level to each bit stream according to the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) observed at the receiver. The proposed scheme has low complexity since the look-up table is computed offline, only once, and used for any image which makes it suitable for devices with limited processing capability. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme with jointly optimized bit power and variable modulation level provides an improvement in PSNR of about 10 to 20 dB over fixed power fixed modulation (16-QAM). A further reduction in complexity is achieved by using the average signal-to-noise ratio rather than the instantaneous SNR in selecting the system parameters.

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
