Like a hotel, but boring: users’ experience with short-time community-based residential aftercare

BACKGROUND The discharge process from hospital to home for patients with severe mental illness (SMI) is often complex, and most are in need of tailored and coordinated community services at home. One solution is to discharge patients to inpatient short-stay community residential aftercare (CRA). The aim of this study was to explore how patients with SMI experience a stay in CRA established in a...

A Requirement-based Short-time Handoff Algorithm Between CR Users

In this paper, an objective function based on the profit of actual use for spectrum allocation is modeled, and a requirement-based short-time handoff algorithm between CR users in order to make full use of the CR users’ surplus spectrum resource is proposed. Simulation results show that the algorithm makes effective use of surplus assignment, improves the profit of actual use, and has the super...
