SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR CHARGING MULTIPLE POWER RECEIVERS IN A WIRELESS CHARGING ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method of charging one or more power receivers in a wireless charging environment, the method comprising:
- detecting the one or more power receivers present within a radio frequency range of a power transmitter;
broadcasting a request for discovering each of the one or more power receivers;
receiving a response for the request from the each of the one or more power receivers;
transmitting a unicast confirmation to the one or more power receivers on receiving the response; and
transmitting radiation to charge at least one of the one or more power receivers on receiving an acknowledgement from the one or more power receivers in response to the unicast confirmation.

Abstract
A wireless power charging system and a method thereof are provided. The system includes a power transmitter configured to charge one or more power receivers. The power transmitter includes a signal and control unit configured to detect the one or more power receivers present within a radio frequency range of a power transmitter, transmit a request for discovering each of the one or more power receivers, and determine whether a response is received from each of the one or more power receivers. The power transmitter further includes a regulator unit connected to the signal and control unit configured to modulate an amount of radiation to be transmitted based on the number of power receivers that provided a response and a power conversion unit connected to the regulator unit transmitting energy radiation to charge the one or more power receivers.
