Wireless Power Sharing in Mesh Networks via Relay Hops

The patent divides the long-distance power transmission path into multiple short-segment hops through intermediate relay nodes. Each node receives power from its neighbor and forwards it to the next node, creating a mesh network where power is transmitted in discrete segments rather than as a single long-distance transmission, thereby maintaining efficiency while extending range.

The patent introduces intermediate relay nodes that act as mediators in the power transmission chain. These nodes receive power wirelessly from one node and re-transmit it to the next node, enabling long-distance power transfer through a series of short-range transmissions rather than a single long-range transmission, thus preserving efficiency.

The patent designs each network node with universal functionality to both transmit and receive power wirelessly. Each node is equipped with identical transmitter and receiver components, enabling any node to act as either a power source or a power recipient depending on real-time network conditions, thus achieving bidirectional power sharing without requiring specialized hardware for different roles.

The patent implements dynamic role assignment where nodes can switch between transmitting and receiving modes based on real-time power availability and network demands. The system continuously monitors power status and dynamically adjusts which nodes transmit and which receive, enabling flexible bidirectional power sharing that adapts to changing conditions without manual reconfiguration.

The patent combines multiple distributed power sources within the mesh network into a unified power sharing system. Each node contributes its available power to the collective network, and the system intelligently routes power from multiple sources to meet the demands of any individual node, effectively merging the capabilities of multiple sources while maintaining system simplicity through centralized control logic.

The patent enables dynamic parameter changes in power availability at each node based on real-time conditions such as local power generation, storage status, and network demands. This allows the system to adaptively utilize different power sources and transmission paths, maintaining reliability during outages or high demand by rerouting power through alternative nodes with available capacity.
