Abstract
Time slotted channel hopping is an enhanced access mechanism for IEEE 802.15.4 that improves many aspects of the original protocol, like determinism and power consumption. Besides preventing collisions, time slotting allows motes to stay asleep for most of the time. In addition, channel hopping achieves more stable communication, in terms of packet losses and transmission latency, in spite of wireless spectrum variations. In this paper, the specific effects of the latter mechanism are investigated from both qualitative and quantitative points of view. In particular, a thorough experimental campaign was carried out on real devices, deployed in a real environment and performing realistic data exchanges, when they are exposed to different interference conditions, to assess the benefits it brings over the case when transmissions are performed on a fixed channel. Experimental results confirm that, when the transmission frequency is kept repeatedly changing, communication quality is sensibly less affected by co-located Wi-Fi infrastructures, which makes the network behavior more predictable and hence intrinsically more dependable

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
