Abstract: A method for providing a healthcare program service over a wireless communication network includes receiving vital signals for a condition from measurement devices transmitted from multiple users and grouping the received vital signals, registering by a plurality of service providers corresponding healthcare programs classified by particular diseases, providing a healthcare program service to the multiple users, receiving feedback of use satisfaction for the healthcare programs from each user, counting the number of uses and gathering utilization information for each of the healthcare programs. The method further includes searching for a corresponding group of users using each healthcare program, adding up the user satisfactions and utilizations, databasing the results and upon receipt of vital signals for a condition from a particular user, comparing against similar signals and recommending a preferred healthcare program for a corresponding user group having vital signals for the condition.

Abstract: A method of generating multi-channel local oscillation frequencies in an ultra wide band communication system includes generating: at least one reference frequency, a plurality of auxiliary frequencies by dividing and multiplying the at least one reference frequency, and a plurality of first local oscillation frequencies by mixing the reference frequency and at least some of the plurality of auxiliary frequencies with other auxiliary frequencies.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting a signal in a receiver by maximum likelihood (ML) are provided, in which symbols are detected according to the number of transmit antennas of a transmitter and a modulation scheme, channels are estimated, an equivalent channel matrix corresponding to the estimated channels is determined, a permuted equivalent channel matrix is determined by multiplying the equivalent channel matrix by a predetermined permutation matrix, the permuted equivalent channel matrix is QR decomposed, a hard decision is performed on predetermined symbols among the detected symbols using a received signal resulting from the QR decomposition, and the log likelihood ratios (LLRs) of the hard-decided symbols are determined.
