Communication apparatus and communication method in wireless power transmission system
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus in a wireless power transmission system, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured todetect state information of a plurality of channels available in a communication cell that have been assigned to a plurality of sources each configured to transmit wireless power,identify sources that are operating in a transmitting mode among the plurality of sources based on the state information, anddetermine a channel for which a channel assignment is to be requested based on the state information and the sources identified by the identifying unit, the determined channel being one of the plurality of channels; and
a communication unit configured to transmit a channel assignment request message to the source to which the determined channel is assigned while the source to which the determined channel is assigned is operating in a receiving mode.

Abstract
A communication apparatus in a wireless power transmission system includes an operating mode converter configured to switch an operating mode of the communication apparatus between a transmitting mode and a receiving mode according to a predetermined timing; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit state information of a channel occupied by a source including the communication apparatus using a continuous wave signal while the communication apparatus is operating in the transmitting mode irrespective of whether the communication apparatus is performing communication via the occupied channel. The source including the communication apparatus is configured to transmit wireless power. The occupied channel has been assigned to the source including the communication apparatus from a plurality of channels available in a communication cell for assignment to a plurality of sources each configured to transmit wireless power.
