    摘要: A method for receiving, by a power receiver, wireless power from a power transmitter. The method includes a ping phase of detecting execution of digital ping of the power transmitter and transmitting a response to the detected digital ping to the power transmitter using a first communication protocol; and a configuration phase of transmitting a configuration packet to the power transmitter using the first communication protocol, wherein the configuration packet includes communication protocol information of the power receiver indicating a second communication protocol supported by the power receiver. Further, the power receiver supports the second communication protocol, based on that a value of the communication protocol information is ‘1’, and the power receiver does not support the second communication protocol, based on that the value of the communication protocol information is ‘0’.

    摘要: A wireless power transmitter including a power converter configured to transfer a wireless power to a wireless power receiver; and a communicator/controller configured to control the wireless power. Further, the communicator/controller is further configured to transmit, to the wireless power receiver, a bit pattern requesting permission to communicate; receive, from the wireless power receiver, a response packet granting the permission in response to the bit pattern; and transmit, to the wireless power receiver in a power transfer phase in which the wireless power is transferred, an auxiliary data transport (ADT) data packet after receiving the response packet. In addition, a header of the ADT data packet is set to a value informing a retransmission of a previous ADT data packet, based on receiving a not acknowledge (NAK) in response to the previous ADT data packet from the wireless power receiver.
