Exploiting memory and soft-decision information in channel optimized quantization for correlated fading channels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A channel optimized vector quantizer (COVQ) scheme is studied and evaluated for a recently introduced discrete binary-input 2q-ary-output channel with Markovian ergodic noise based on a finite queue. This channel can effectively model binary-modulated correlated Rayleigh fading channels with output quantization of resolution q. It is shown that the system can successfully exploit the channel's memory and soft-decision information. Signal-to-distortion gains of up to 2.3 dB are obtained for only 2 bits of soft-decision quantization over COVQ schemes designed for a hard-decision (q = 1) demodulated channel. Furthermore, gains as high as 4.6 dB can be achieved for a highly correlated channel, in comparison with systems designed for the ideally interleaved (memoryless) channel. Finally, the queue-based noise model is validated as an effective approximation of correlated fading channels by testing a COVQ trained using this model over the Rayleigh fading channel.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
