Abstract
Extended reality (XR) and 6G networks are set to transform mobile immersive experiences, with privacy and security being paramount in XR communications. Achieving secure and reliable XR experiences while meeting high-resolution and low-latency needs are challenging for wireless networks. A novel security-aware cross-layer communication management framework is proposed, employing zero-trust spatiotemporal physical layer level manipulations for moving-target defense (MTD). Driven by deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and realtime monitoring, the proposed framework adaptively reprograms the network configuration to maximize the user's quality of experience (QoE), reduce the overall latency, and minimize the attacker's intercept probability. The framework was evaluated in a simulated scenario featuring an indirect multi-hop communication setup. The results show that the proposed framework effectively and efficiently secures XR user communications while maintaining QoE outperforming conventional Q-learning algorithms, making it suitable for mission-critical XR applications.

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
