COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus in a wireless power transmission system, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a state information detector configured to detect state information of a plurality of channels available in a communication cell when all of the plurality of channels have already been respectively assigned to a plurality of sources configured to transmit wireless power; and
a controller configured to;
determine one of the plurality of channels to be used for communication by the communication apparatus based on the state information;
determine whether the determined channel is being used by a respective one of the plurality of sources to which the determined channel has already been assigned; and
determine whether the determined channel is to be used by the communication apparatus depending on a result of the determination of whether the determined channel is being used.

Abstract
A communication method in a wireless power transmission system includes detecting state information of a plurality of channels available in a communication cell when all of the plurality of channels have already been respectively assigned to a plurality of sources configured to transmit wireless power respectively, determining a channel to be used for communication based on the state information, determining whether the determined channel is being used by a respective one of the plurality of sources to which the determined channel has already been assigned, and determining whether the determined channel is to be used for communication based on a result of the determination of whether the determined channel is being used.

11. A communication apparatus in a wireless power transmission system, the communication apparatus comprising:
-
an operating mode converter configured to switch an operating mode of the communication apparatus to a transmitting mode or a receiving mode based on a communication operation to be performed by the communication apparatus when all of a plurality of channels available in a communication cell have already been respectively assigned to a plurality of sources configured to transmit wireless power, the communication apparatus being one of the plurality of sources; and a controller configured to control the communication apparatus to operate in a standby mode to wait to perform a future communication operation without using the respective one of the plurality of channels that has been assigned to the communication apparatus while operating in the standby mode when the communication to be performed by the communication apparatus has been completed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
