16. A method of configuring a network of a power transmitting unit (PTU), the method comprising:
-
searching for a neighboring PTU operating in a slave mode; receiving a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from a neighboring PTU operating in the slave mode found in the searching; and determining whether the neighboring PTU operating in the slave mode found in the searching is approved to be network-connected to a PTU based on a result of comparing the RSSI to a predetermined reference value. - View Dependent Claims (17)
