Abstract
Methods and apparatus for load balancing and scheduling in wireless power transfer networks are disclosed. An example method includes receiving data related to a power receiving unit (PRU) from a first power transmitting unit (PTU), identifying a second PTU based on the data, and transmitting an alert corresponding to the second PTU to at least one of the first PRU, the first PTU, the second PTU, or a display.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving data related to a power receiving unit (PRU) from a first power transmitting unit (PTU);
- identifying a second PTU based on the data;
- and
- transmitting an alert corresponding to the second PTU to at least one of the first PRU, the first PTU, the second PTU, or a display.
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver to receive data related to a power receiving unit (PRU) from a first power transmitting unit (PTU);
- a topology mapping controller to identify a second PTU based on the data;
- and
- a transmitter to transmit an alert corresponding to the second PTU to at least one of the first PRU, the first PTU, the second PTU, or a display.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed cause a machine to at least:
- receive data related to a power receiving unit (PRU) from a first power transmitting unit (PTU);
- identify a second PTU based on the data;
- and
- transmit an alert corresponding to the second PTU to at least one of the first PRU, the first PTU, the second PTU, or a display.
