Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for transmitting wireless power. One example method includes: receiving, by at least one of a plurality of antennas of a wireless power transmitter, a first communication signal from a wireless power receiver coupled with an electronic device, the first communication signal including information identifying a location of the electronic device and device parameters associated therewith. The method also includes: splitting, by the transmitter, the plurality of antennas into at least one communication antenna and a first group of power-transmission antennas; assigning, by the transmitter, the first group of power-transmission antennas to the receiver based on the device parameters; and transmitting, by the transmitter, two or more power transmission waves from the first group of power-transmission antennas such that the two or more power transmission waves converge as constructive interference patterns to form a pocket of energy at the location associated with the electronic device.
