Abstract
CarpetLAN is a novel indoor wireless(-like) broad-band networking and positioning system. It uses the Hoor surface and the human body as an Ethernet-cable, and weak electric fields as the transmission media. Portable and wearable devices can connect to the network while the user stands or walks on the floor; connection speed is 10Mbps. Home and office appliances can also access the network if they are just put; on the floor. CarpetLAN also provides an indoor positioning function, which is urgently needed for realizing "ubiquitous" communication. This electric field based transmission system yields ultra-micro communication cells, so the positions of humans and appliances can be detected with about 1 meter accuracy. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
