Abstract
Our group has proposed a new communication technology named "Two-Dimensional Communication" for high-density sensor networks. In this paper, we propose the method to estimate the positions and orientations of sensor nodes on the Two-Dimensional Communication sheet (2DC sheet). First, we introduce the position encoding scheme on the 2DC sheet. Next, we analyze the electromagnetic field modulation by the position code on the 2DC sheet, and propose the method to detect the position code on the 2DC sheet using the electric field sensing. Finally, we show the results of the fundamental experiment to confirm that the proposed method is useful for the position estimation on the 2DC sheet.
