1. A method for wireless power transmission for electronic devices, comprising the steps of:
- emitting RF waves from a plurality of pocket-forming transmitters each having a radio frequency integrated circuit, antenna elements, communication circuitry and a predetermined number of the plurality of pocket-forming transmitters connected to at least one base station having a digital processing unit and a power source connected to the digital processing unit and each of the predetermined number of transmitters;
generating pockets of energy from each transmitter to converge in 3-d space at predetermined locations within a building or rooms within a predefined structure;
incorporating receivers within the electronic devices; and
converting the pockets of energy in 3-d space from each transmitter within the receivers located within range of each transmitter within the predefined structure to charge or power the electronic devices.
