In this paper, we propose new methods for admission capacity planning in orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFMDA) cellular networks which consider the randomness of the channel gain in formulating the outage ratio and the excess capacity ratio.
12 We used the variable for method of admission ('admimeth') to define an emergency admission.
This paper proposes a method for evaluating admissions control that may subsequently be used as the basis for improving the control of admissions.
This information is derived from the method of admission field recorded for each admission.
Emergency admissions were defined as those for which the method of admission was recorded as 'Emergency', either via accident and emergency services, a general practitioner, a Bed Bureau, a consultant outpatient clinic or other means (HES Column header: admimeth=21, 22, 23, 24, 28).
It is beyond the scope of this paper to review selection methods used for admissions to assess academic ability and personal characteristics.
Excluded were inpatients for whom data on age, sex, method of admission, destination after discharge, method of discharge, principal diagnosis, admission date, discharge date, or length of stay were missing or invalid.
The article "An efficient method for proportional differentiated admission control implementation" by Vladimir Shakhov and Hyunseung Choo investigates the admission control mechanism inspired in the framework of proportional differentiated services.
The method of admission is, however, available.
Admissions were then classified into either emergency or elective admissions, based on the method of admission.
