Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving signals using a codebook which maps each codeword to at least two different antennas is provided for a MIMO system. A transmission method includes mapping multiple codewords to multiple layers; mapping the multiple layers to multiple antennas using a precoding matrix selected from a rank-3 codebook which is designed to map the codewords to different antennas; and transmitting the codewords through paths formed by mapping the layers and the antennas. The precoding matrix of the rank-3 codebook is designed to equalize transmit power ratios between the antennas. The communication method and apparatus is advantageous to solve the problem of transmit power imbalance among the layers and the problem of performance degradation at the high SNR region in the conventional system using the rank-3 precoding matrices.

Abstract: A context knowledge modeling method is provided. The context knowledge modeling method includes the steps of: a) defining a context knowledge space as a two-dimensional space based on an abstract level and an application domain of knowledge; b) locating a share ontology as a highest level of the abstract level for defining a common ontology concept at a plurality of applications and services performed in various environment and domains; c) locating at least one of domain ontologies as a lower abstract level than the share ontology by taking over the ontology concept defined at the share ontology and defining a class and an attribute specialized at a corresponding domain and a developing application; and d) locating one or more instance bases expressing knowledge about real objects to have a lower abstract level than the domain ontologies.

Abstract: A method for determining a malfunction of a pressure sensor determines that a stick malfunction occurs in the pressure sensor by an ECU calculating a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of a voltage value output from the pressure sensor mounted in a fuel tank and determining that a malfunction has occurred in a case that the difference is less than a predetermined value.

Abstract: When a predetermined diagnosis beginning condition is satisfied, a conversion value converted from a signal from a fuel level sensor is compared with a predetermined value, and a detection of a fluctuation is counted in accordance with the comparison. When a fluctuation detection duration exceeds a predetermined period and a fluctuation detection counter value exceeds a first predetermined number, a noisy failure occurrence is counted and a noisy failure of the fuel level sensor is warned of in the case that the noisy failure counter value exceeds the second predetermined number.
