Abstract
Intelligent wireless energy sharing is provided. An ad hoc wireless mesh network that includes a plurality of energy nodes is formed using a set of machine learning models. The plurality of energy nodes is comprised of the energy node and a set of other energy nodes. A source energy node and a sink energy node in the plurality of energy nodes is identified using the set of machine learning models in response to forming the ad hoc wireless mesh network. Energy is wirelessly transferred from the energy node as the source energy node to the sink energy node via the ad hoc wireless mesh network utilizing a transceiver.
