Abstract
A method for protocol layer coordination of wireless energy transfer systems includes defining, by a master Internet of Things Access Point (IoTA), a set of configuration parameters. The master IoTA is one of a plurality of IoTAs. Each IoTA includes a controller in communication with a Power Access Point (PAP), an intercommunication radio and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transceiver. The PAP is configured to energize an RFID tag, the intercommunication radio is configured to communicate between the master IoTA and a slave IoTA, and the RFID transceiver is configured to communicate with the RFID tag. Both the master IoTA and the slave IoTA are configured with the set of configuration parameters, transmitted by the master IoTA. The slave IoTA transmits an RFID command in response to the slave IoTA receiving the RFID request, from the master IoTA.
