1. A method of selectively scheduling power delivery for a wireless power transmission system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the wireless power transmission system, a wireless power consumption request initiated by a first wireless power receiver in the wireless power delivery environment,wherein the wireless power consumption request uniquely identifies the first wireless power receiver;
determining if the first wireless power receiver belongs to a set of wireless power receivers synchronized with the wireless power transmission system for wireless power delivery; and
generating a wireless power delivery schedule for the wireless power transmission system,wherein the wireless power delivery schedule includes the first wireless power receiver when the first wireless power receiver belongs to the set of wireless power receivers that are synchronized with the wireless power transmission system.

Abstract
Techniques are described herein for determining which power receiver clients are within a set network and limiting power transmission to these select clients. Ignoring some power requests frees up the wireless power transmission system to preferentially supply power to wireless power receiver clients that are determined to be of higher importance. This may be particularly beneficial within a home or business setting where the wireless power transmission system coverage region extends into locations where unknown devices are located
