    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for performing power calibration in a wireless power transmission system. The present specification provides a wireless power transmission apparatus comprising: a power conversion unit configured to transmit, in a power transfer phase, wireless power generated on the basis of magnetic coupling to a wireless power receiving device; and a communication/control unit configured to perform an initial calibration for a power parameter prior to the power transfer phase, receive a first received power packet from the wireless power receiving device indicating the power received by the wireless power receiving device during the power transfer phase, and detect foreign matter by using the received power and a first power loss determined on the basis of the initial calibration. It is possible to adaptively respond to a newly changed wireless charging environment to calibrate transmission power and reception power, and it is possible to detect foreign matter more precisely by detecting a power loss on the basis of the calibrated transmission and reception power.

    Abstract: The present specification relates to a device and method for wirelessly transmitting power on the basis of the reestablishment of out-band communication. The present specification discloses a wireless power receiving device comprising a communication/control circuit configured to carry out the operations of: performing handover from in-band communication using operating frequencies to out-band communication using any frequencies except for the operating frequencies; transmitting power characteristic information to the wireless power transmitting device or receiving power characteristic information from the wireless power transmitting device through the out-band communication before entering a power transmission phase; and saving power state information determined during the power transmission phase. By defining an out-band communication reestablishment protocol for the wireless power transmitting device or wireless power receiving device, it is possible to improve the performance of wireless power transmission throughout-band communication reestablishment that is fast and efficient.
