For H-FMT, the problem of jointly allocating the sub-channels powers, the overhead duration, and the modulation scheme, to the channel condition to (a) maximize the achievable rate, or (b) minimize the total transmitted power, is considered.
To this end, two switching criteria that allow H-FMT to select the modulation are jointly designed with the resource allocation algorithms to maximize the achievable rate or to minimize the transmitted power.
Here, it is crucial to minimize the number of physical hops as this directly impacts the achievable delay and packet loss.
While there are no recommended absorbed dose limits, it is, based on the ALARA concept ("As Low As Reasonably Achievable"), highly recommended to always minimize the doses with regard to the image quality necessary for an accurate diagnosis [3].
The second plan (termed avoidance plan) will be optimized such that dose to functional lung is as low as reasonably achievable, with an aim to minimize the V5, V20, and mean dose within the functional lung.
In [12], selected clusters maximize the increase of the achievable UE rate, whereas in [12, 13], they minimize the interference power.
Different experimental set ups were tested looking for minimize the error and extend the range of D values achievable.
These are designed to minimize the hypothetical risks of cancer deaths by keeping radiation exposures "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA).
Special care must though be taken in the future to minimize the proportion of non-participating patients in efficacy studies, because we could miss the ultimately achievable results.
Furthermore, considering to minimize the total throughput reduction, a subchannel is more desirable to be assigned to a traffic whose achievable throughput has a small gap from the maximum achievable throughput in that subchannel.
