Abstract
Methods and apparatus for cross connection detection and mitigation in wireless power transfer networks are disclosed. An example method includes receiving communication data from the second PTU, the communication data being generated by the PRU, wherein the first PTU and the second PTU are capable of providing wireless power to power receiving units; determining that the communication data is intended for the first PTU based on the connected device mapping; and transmitting the communication data to the first PTU.
