Abstract
The operational and technological structures of radio access networks have undergone tremendous changes in recent years. A displacement of priority from capacity-coverage optimization (to ensure data freshness) has emerged. Multiple radio access technology (multi-RAT) is a solution that addresses the exponential growth of traffic demands, providing degrees of freedom in meeting various performance goals, including energy efficiencies in IoT networks. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possibility of leveraging multi-RAT to reduce each user's transmission delay while preserving the requisite quality of service (QoS) and maintaining the freshness of the received information via the age of information (AoI) metric. First, we investigated the coordination between a multi-hop network and a cellular network. Each IoT device served as an information source that generated packets (transmitting them toward the base station) and a relay (for packets generated upstream). We created a queuing system that included the network and MAC layers. We propose a framework comprised of various models and tools for forecasting network performances in terms of the end-to-end delay of ongoing flows and AoI. Finally, to highlight the benefits of our framework, we performed comprehensive simulations. In discussing these numerical results, insights regarding various aspects and metrics (parameter tuning, expected QoS, and performance) are made apparent.

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
