1. A method of pairing a wireless charging system to a vehicle, the method comprising steps of:
- transmitting, by a processor, a first signal including location information related to a parking space within a parking lot;
receiving, by the processor, a second signal from the vehicle including an array of received signal strength indicators (RSSI), wherein the array is determined from a plurality of signals within the parking lot;
determining, by the processor, a location of the parking space based on the received second signal;
comparing, by the processor, the array of RSSI with previously stored arrays of RSSI;
determining, by the processor, a match between the array of RSSI and one of the previously stored arrays of RSSI using a signal processing algorithm; and
transmitting, by the processor, a third signal providing a match notification to the vehicle that indicates the pairing of the wireless charging system to the vehicle.

Abstract
A method for pairing a wireless charging system to a vehicle, includes: determining location coordinates of a target position of a vehicle parking space within a parking lot; storing the location coordinates of a center of the parking space; receiving a signal including location coordinates of the vehicle; and determining a location match using the location coordinates of the center of the parking space and the location coordinates of the vehicle to pair the wireless charging system to the vehicle.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor on a controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that transmit by a first signal including location information related to a parking space within a parking lot; program instructions that receive a second signal from the vehicle including an array of received signal strength indicators (RSSI), wherein the array is determined from a plurality of signals within the parking lot; program instructions that determine a location of the parking space based on the received second signal; program instructions that compare the array of RSSI with previously stored arrays of RSSI; program instructions that determine a match between the array of RSSI and one of the previously stored arrays of RSSI using a signal processing algorithm; and program instructions that transmit a third signal providing a match notification to the vehicle that indicates the pairing of the wireless charging system to the vehicle.
