Abstract
In Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks, mobility of the UAV and the corresponding network dynamics cause frequent network adaptation. One key challenge caused by this in Flying Ad-hoc Network (FANET) is how to maintain the link stability such that both the packet loss rate and network latency can be reduced. Clustering of UAVs could effectively improve the performance of large-scale UAV swarm. However, the use of conventional clustering schemes in dynamic and high mobility FANET will lead to more link outages. Besides, frequent updates of cluster structure would cause the instability of network topology and the increase of control overhead and latency. To solve this problem, we propose a location-based $k$ -means UAV clustering algorithms by incorporating the mobility and relative location of the UAVs to enhance the performance and reliability of the UAV network with limited resource. The objective of the proposed Mobility and Location-aware Stable Clustering (MLSC) mechanism is to enhance the stability and accuracy of the network by reducing unnecessary overheads and network latency through incorporating several design factors with minimum resource constraints. Furthermore, we derive the relationship between the maximum coverage probability of Cluster Head (CH) and cluster size to find the optimal cluster size to minimize the network overhead. Our simulation results show that the proposed MLSC scheme significantly reduces the network overheads, and also improves packet delivery ratio and network latency as compared to the conventional clustering methods.

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
