1. A method of selectively scheduling wireless power delivery in a wireless power delivery environment, the method comprising:

  • broadcasting, by a wireless power transmission system, a network sharing message in the wireless power delivery environment;

    responsive to broadcasting the network sharing message, 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 that the first wireless power receiver belongs to a set of wireless power receivers synchronized with the wireless power transmission system;

    generating a wireless power delivery schedule for delivering directed wireless power to multiple wireless power receivers in the wireless power delivery environment, wherein the wireless power delivery schedule is time-sliced among the multiple wireless power receivers including one or more time slots assigned to the first wireless power receiver; and

    delivering directed wireless power to the first wireless power receiver during the one or more time slots.
