Abstract
A power estimator calculates first estimated power values based on levels of test signals received from power receiver apparatuses, each first estimated power value indicating estimated received power of a corresponding power receiver apparatus when a power transmitter apparatus transmits power to the power receiver apparatuses. A signal transmitting circuit transmits each first estimated power value to a corresponding power receiver apparatus. A signal receiving circuit receives second estimated power values from the power receiver apparatuses, each second estimated power value indicating estimated received power of a corresponding power receiver apparatus when other power transmitter apparatuses transmit power to the power receiver apparatuses. A power transmitter control circuit determines pairing of the power transmitter apparatuses and the power receiver apparatuses for power transmission, based on the first and second estimated power values, so that estimated received power of each power receiver apparatus is equal to or higher than a threshold.
