Comparison of frame-level distortion of the baseline Foschini-Miljanic algorithm with that of the CADF algorithm with heuristics for given rates. The CADF algorithm with heuristics sacrifices scheduling frames 13 and 14 of low distortion to free up the channel for future high distortion frames 17–19, whereas the baseline Foschini-Miljanic algorithm myopically schedules low distortion frames and suffers later for dropping high distortion frames.
