Abstract
The optimal scheduling of interfering links in a dense wireless network with full frequency reuse is a challenging task. The traditional method involves first estimating all the interfering channel strengths and then optimizing the scheduling based on the model. This model-based method is, however, resource intensive and computationally hard because channel estimation is expensive in dense networks; furthermore, finding even a locally optimal solution of the resulting optimization problem may be computationally complex. This paper shows that by using a deep learning approach, it is possible to bypass the channel estimation and to schedule links efficiently based solely on the geographic locations of the transmitters and the receivers due to the fact that in many propagation environments, the wireless channel strength is largely a function of the distance-dependent path-loss. This is accomplished by unsupervised training over randomly deployed networks and by using a novel neural network architecture that computes the geographic spatial convolutions of the interfering or interfered neighboring nodes along with subsequent multiple feedback stages to learn the optimum solution. The resulting neural network gives a near-optimal performance for sum-rate maximization and is capable of generalizing to larger deployment areas and to deployments of different link densities. Moreover, to provide fairness, this paper proposes a novel scheduling approach that utilizes the sum-rate optimal scheduling algorithm over judiciously chosen subsets of links for maximizing a proportional fairness objective over the network. The proposed approach shows highly competitive and generalizable network utility maximization results.

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
