Abstract
In this paper, we formulate a flow-based framework for the joint optimization of resource allocation, transmission coordination, and user association in a heterogeneous network comprising of a macro base station and a set of pico base stations and/or relay nodes. By incorporating these three important network processes together and by unifying the analysis of pico base stations and relay nodes, our framework can act as an important engineering tool for understanding the performance of different configurations. We use the resulting formulations to characterize the performance of different combinations of resource allocation schemes and transmission coordination mechanisms. We obtained important engineering insights regarding the interplay of these network processes. In particular, under the deployment of pico base stations, we find that partially shared deployment outperforms the co-channel deployment, with or without transmission coordination. In contrast, the results also show that the deployment of relay nodes does not offer meaningful throughput gains for any choice of resource allocation scheme or transmission coordination mechanism.

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
