Performance of a knockout switch for multimedia satellite communications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper investigates the performance of a multiple-beam satellite communications system using an on-board knockout switch to support multimedia services. Aggregate voice or video traffic is modeled as a 2-state Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) while two models for aggregate data traffic, MMPP and Pareto-modulated Poisson process (PMPP), are used to examine the effects of traffic burstiness and long-range dependent behavior. Multiple-frequency time division multiple access (MF-TDMA) is used on the uplink in conjunction with a dynamic capacity allocation scheme. Higher priority is given to voice, and video realtime traffic to avoid delay variation. An on-board downlink queue for jitter-tolerant data is provided to achieve high statistical multiplexing gain. Simulation results show that packet loss due to the knockout contention scheme is much lower than that due to the limited capacity on the uplink and downlink. This makes the knockout architecture attractive for on-board switching to achieve low complexity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
