Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for encoding beacon signals in wireless power delivery environments. More specifically, techniques are disclosed for encoding beacon signals to isolate client devices for wireless power delivery in wireless power delivery environments. The beacon signals can be encoded or modulated with a transmission code that is provided to selected clients in the wireless power delivery environment. In this manner, beacon signals from the select clients can be identified and the corresponding client devices isolated for wireless power delivery.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one antenna;
- and
- control circuitry operatively coupled to the at least one antenna, the control circuitry configured to:
- receive, via the at least one antenna, device-specific information from client devices;
- based on the device-specific information:
- select a set of the client devices for wireless power reception;
- and
- generate beacon transmission scheduling assignments for two or more client devices of the selected set;
- and
- transmit, using the at least one antenna, a beacon transmission scheduling assignment, and a transmission code, to the two or more client devices.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, using an antenna of, or associated with, a client device:
- device-specific information to a wireless power transmitter (WPT);
- receiving, via the antenna, or via another antenna of or associated with the client device:
- a transmission code, and a beacon transmission scheduling assignment, from the WPT;
- and
- transmitting, using the antenna, or using the another antenna:
- an encoded beacon signal to the WPT during the beacon transmission assignment.
A method comprising:
- receiving, via at least one antenna of a wireless power transmitter (WPT), device-specific information from client devices;
- based on the device-specific information:
- selecting a set of the client devices for wireless power reception;
- and
- generating beacon transmission scheduling assignments for two or more client devices of the selected set;
- and
- transmitting, using the at least one antenna, a beacon transmission scheduling assignment, and a transmission code, to the two or more client devices.
