An example method for transmitting wireless power is provided, the method including: transmitting a first plurality of power transmission waves such that each of the transmission waves interferes constructively with other power transmission waves in the first plurality of power transmission waves to form controlled constructive interference at a first location having a receiver. The method also includes transmitting a second plurality of power transmission waves such that each of the second plurality of power tranmission waves interferes destructively with other power transmission waves in the second plurality of power transmission waves to form controlled destructive interference at a second location without any receiver. The method further includes receiving a communication signal from the receiver, and adjusting a phase or a gain and phase of at least one power transmission wave in each of the first plurality and the second plurality of power transmission waves based upon the communication signal.
