Call Admission Control for Non-Standalone 5G Ultra-Dense Networks [PDF]

, 2018
—In this letter, we propose new handoff schemes to reduce the interruption time that occurs during re-connection of an arriving mobile user moving from macrocell to small cell or from small cell to macrocell domains. A new call admission control (CAC)

Association Between Alkaline Phosphatase Levels and All‐Cause Mortality in Critically Ill Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Combined Heart Failure: A Retrospective Study Using the MIMIC Database

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is implicated in vascular calcification and inflammation, yet its prognostic role in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by heart failure (HF) remains uncertain. This study aimed to examine the association between ALP levels and all‐cause mortality in critically ill patients with AMI and HF.
