The phrase "allocations were first" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing the order of operations or priorities in a process, particularly in contexts like budgeting or resource distribution.
Example: "In our project timeline, allocations were first before any other tasks could commence."
Alternatives: "allocations came first" or "allocations were prioritized."
A radio resource allocation algorithm is first proposed to allocate radio resource units to an arbitrary topology containing MBS Zones.
A theoretical PRB allocation scheme is first computed based on open-loop power control.
The proposed new optimal allocation procedure is first explained using the 3-D matrix/matrix multiplication (MMM) problem.
The problem of minimizing the DL transmit power required to meet users' SINR constraints by joint optimization of transmit beamforming (BF) vectors and power allocation scalars was first solved in [13] and was later treated in [14, 15] with feasibility issues.
Our contributions and new ideas include (a) a joint allocation scheme is first developed in the time domain and the frequency domain, including the consideration of the proportional fairness among UEs; (b) a new evaluation function based on an optimization technique is proposed to determine the configuration of subframes, i.e., normal and protected subframes.
It was not until 1997 that the Executive Board decided to set aside specific funds to accelerate programme priorities, and it was not until two years later that the first allocations were made of these.
In practice, the allocation of resources is first and foremost a strategic decision: the police and crime commissioner will determine the priorities for the force based on the public's main concerns.
An iterative semi-distributed resource allocation (RA) algorithm is first proposed to optimize mode selection (decision whether relaying should be used or not and which relay), subcarrier assignment (MSSA), and power allocation (PA), alternatively.
Some spectators and outside lawyers said that Mr. Quattrone could have easily avoided the appearance of a contradiction in his testimony if he had introduced the idea that he had played a limited role in the allocation process when he was first questioned by his lawyer, John W. Keker.
The power allocation which maximizes (3) is first investigated for a sum power constraint (4).
