On the Performance of HAPS-assisted Hybrid RF-FSO Multicast Communication Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multicast routing is considered a promising approach for real-time applications to address the massive data traffic demands. In this work, we study the outage probability of a multicast downlink communication network for non-terrestrial communication systems. More precisely, we propose two practical use-cases. In the former model, we propose a high altitude platform station (HAPS) aided mixed radio frequency (RF)/ free-space optical (FSO)/RF communication scheme where a terrestrial ground station intends to communicate with a cluster of nodes through two stratospheric HAPS systems. In the latter model, we assume that the line of sight (LOS) connectivity is inaccessible between the two HAPS systems due to high attenuation caused by large propagation distances. Thereby, we propose a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-aided mixed RF/FSO/FSO/RF communication. For the proposed scenarios, outage probability expressions are derived and validated with Monte Carlo (MC) simulations under different conditions.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
