Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we study the call admission control (CAC) and routing issue in multi‐service networks. Two categories of calls are considered: a narrow‐band (NB) with blocked calls cleared and a wide‐band (WB) with blocked calls delayed. The objective function is formulated as reward maximisation with penalty for delay. The optimisation is subject to quality of service (QoS) constraints and, possibly, grade of service (GoS) constraints. A suboptimal solution is achieved by applying Markov decision process (MDP) theory together with a two‐level approximation. First, the network is decomposed into a set of links assumed to have independent Markov and reward processes respectively. Second, the dimensions of the link Markov and reward processes are reduced by aggregation of the call classes into call categories. The CAC and routing policy is computed by the policy iteration algorithm from MDP theory. The numerical results show that the proposed CAC and routing method, based on the exact link MDP framework, is able to find an efficient trade‐off between reward loss and average call set‐up delay, outperforming conventional methods such as the least loaded routing (LLR).

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
