Abstract
This paper studies the device activity detection problem in a multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, in which the active devices transmit signature sequences to multiple base stations (BSs) that are connected to a central unit (CU), and the BSs cooperate across multiple cells to detect the active devices based on the sample covariance matrices at the BSs. This paper demonstrates the importance of exploiting the knowledge of channel large-scale fadings in this cooperative detection setting through a phase transition analysis, which characterizes the length of signature sequences needed for successful device activity detection in the massive MIMO regime. It is shown that when the large-scale fadings are known, the phase transition for the multi-cell scenario is approximately the same as that of a single-cell system. In this case, the length of the signature sequences required for reliable activity detection in the multi-cell system can be made to be independent of the number of cells through cooperation, in contrast to the case where the large-scale fadings are not known. Further, this paper considers the case in which the fronthaul links between the BSs and the CU have capacity constraints and proposes a novel cooperation scheme based on the quantization of preliminary detection results at the BSs and the reconstruction of the sample covariance matrices at the CU. Simulations show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the scheme of directly quantizing the sample covariance matrices.

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
