Joint Selection of Antennas and Transmission Power Level for Wireless Energy Transfer

摘要

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for jointly selecting a plurality of antennas and a transmission power level, for transmitting a wireless energy transfer (WET) signal from a base station to a device are disclosed. One apparatus includes a base station, wherein the base station includes a plurality of N antennas configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic signals, and a controller connected to the plurality of N antennas through a plurality of RF (radio frequency) chains. The controller is configured to jointly select a plurality of M of the plurality of N antennas and a transmission power level, for transmitting a wireless energy transfer (WET) signal from the base station to a device based on an activation threshold of the device and a saturation level of the device.
