Abstract
A method comprises obtaining device information associated with one or more computing devices, the device information comprises at least a location of each of the one or more computing devices. Based on the device information, one or more UWCFs corresponding to the one or more computing devices are adapted such that a UWCF is a sub-area of an open zone, where the open zone is an area having reflection characteristics below a reference reflection threshold. A charging rate for each of the one or more computing devices based on the one or more UWCFs is determined. A beamformed signal is then transmitted within corresponding UWCF of each of the one or more computing devices based on corresponding charging rate for wirelessly charging the one or more computing devices.
