WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM

A communication method of a wireless power receiver performing communication with a wireless power transmitter, includes transmitting control information to the wireless power transmitter at a time slot in a first cycle; receiving an ACK signal from the wireless power transmitter when the control information is transmitted without collision at the time slot in the first cycle; determining a position of the time slot from among a plurality of time slots within the first cycle in response to the received ACK signal; receiving, in a second cycle, a sync pattern which indicates that the time slot is allocated to the wireless power receiver; and performing communication with the wireless power transmitter using the allocated time slot in the second cycle.
