Abstract
We present an analytic model and a methodology to determine the optimal packet scheduling policy in a High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) system. The optimal policy is the one that maximizes cell throughput while maintaining a level of fairness between the users in the cell. A discrete stochastic dynamic programming model for the HSDPA downlink scheduler is presented. Value iteration is then used to solve for the optimal scheduling policy. We use a FSMC (Finite State Markov Channel) to model the HSDPA downlink channel. A near-optimal heuristic scheduling policy is developed. Simulation is used to study the performance of the resulting heuristic policy and compare it to the computed optimal policy. The results show that the performance of the heuristic policy is very close to that of the optimal policy. The heuristic policy has much less computational complexity, which makes it easy to deploy, with only slight reduction in performance compared to the optimal policy.

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
