Abstract
IEEE 802.11 WLANs are currently one of the most popular wireless technologies, but their immediate success results in dense deployments and high demand of user traffic. This in turn leads to decrease in throughput and poor spectrum utilization. Especially in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, where the spectrum is a very scarce resource, all available WLAN channels should be exploited in the best possible way to achieve higher utilization. One way to reach this goal is the usage of partially overlapping channels (POC). Most of the previous work related to POC is based on two major studies addressing 802.11 b, but none of them evaluates the POC behavior in the 802.11 g networks. Moreover, most of the previous results are based on simulations. The main contribution of this work is an experimental evaluation of POC in 802.11g networks. In this paper we confirm quantitatively that 802.11b reacts as expected from the previous studies, while 802.11 g reacts entirely different to the presence of adjacent channel interference. That leads to the conclusion that the usage of POC for 802.11g is not recommended.

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
