Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Shot noise due to direct sunlight is the major cause of SNR degradation in vehicle to vehicle visible light communications (V2V-VLC) outdoors. This shot noise can be simply reduced by the receiver ‘looking away’ from the sun rays. However, this has to be done without reducing the received optical signal power, which is a 3-D tracking problem, where both transmitter and receiver are moving. This paper analyzes the resulting optimization problem and finds the optimal angle at which the instantaneous SNR is maximized. This depends on the incident angle of the optical signal as well as the incident angle of the sunlight. Note, the mobility adds random additive noise in addition to rapid angle variations. The paper uses an extended- Kalman filter to minimize the error and possible drift in the optimal angle in the presence of noisy measurements. This results in an adaptive SNR optimization system for real-time vehicle to vehicle visible light communications. We have also presented the analytical solution to the SNR optimization problem. Simulation results, on a curved freeway on a bright sunny day, demonstrate close matching between the actual optimal SNR and that achieved by the extended-Kalman filter.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
