Abstract
Supporting video applications over 802.11 wireless local area networks is a challenging task due to the constant fluctuations in channel error rates and the inefficiency of the MAC layer. New video compression technologies, such as H.264, provide a network adaptation layer for adapting the output of the video encoder to the characteristics of the underlying transport network. In this article we demonstrate that it is possible to improve the performance of H.264 video applications over 802.11 WLANs through a cross-layer design that optimizes the encoded H.264 packet sizes. We propose the use of aggregation and fragmentation mechanisms to create the optimal frame lengths. We also investigate several application layer error

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
