1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a device in a wireless network, a request from a node in the network requesting electrical power;
determining, by the device, one or more power transmission parameters for the node;
determining, by the device, a power transmission schedule for the node; and
sending, by the device, wireless network communications to the node in response to the request and based on the determined one or more power transmission parameters and transmission schedule for the node, wherein the node converts the wireless network communications into stored electrical power.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a device in a wireless network receives a request from a node in the network requesting electrical power. The device determines one or more power transmission parameters for the node. The device determines a power transmission schedule for the node. The device sends wireless network communications to the node in response to the request and based on the determined one or more power transmission parameters and transmission schedule for the node. The node converts the wireless network communications into stored electrical power.
