Abstract

Wireless link management techniques for wireless charging systems are described. According to some such techniques, a power receiving unit (PRU) may be configured to observe a rectifier voltage while operating in a charge complete connected (CCC) mode according to which it possesses a wireless connection with a power transmitting unit (PTU) operating in a power save state. In various embodiments, the PRU may be configured to observe the rectifier voltage in an attempt to detect power beacons generated by the PTU. In some embodiments, the PRU may be configured to maintain the wireless connection if it detects power beacons, and to terminate the wireless connection if it does not detect any beacons. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
