https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise%20over%20thermal
In wireless communication systems, the rise over thermal (ROT) indicates the ratio between the total interference received on a base station and the thermal noise. The ROT is a measurement of congestion of a cellular telephone network. The acceptable level of ROT is often used to define the capacity of systems using ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purity%20%28quantum%20mechanics%29
In quantum mechanics, and especially quantum information theory, the purity of a normalized quantum state is a scalar defined as where is the density matrix of the state and is the trace operation. The purity defines a measure on quantum states, giving information on how much a state is mixed. Mathematical properti...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admission%20control
Admission control is a validation process in communication systems where a check is performed before a connection is established to see if current resources are sufficient for the proposed connection. Applications For some applications, dedicated resources (such as a wavelength across an optical network) may be needed...
