Abstract
The 802.11ac version of the popular IEEE 802.11 protocol aims to boost performance by increasing the channel bandwidth and allowing downlink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) - i.e., simultaneous transmission to multiple clients in the downlink direction. In this paper, we evaluate the performance improvements of multiuser Transmission Opportunity (MU-TXOP) sharing in this scenario under nonsaturated load and non-ideal channel condition, using a novel analytical model based on discrete Markov chain and E-limited M/G/1 queuing model. Our results show that MU-TXOP sharing achieves up to 105% gain in throughput compared to the case without MU-TXOP sharing. Moreover, the low-priority traffic benefits most from MU-TXOP sharing, with up to 150% throughput gain at low traffic intensity due to availability of additional transmission opportunities for secondary ACs.

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
