Abstract: The present teaching relates to wireless power transmission based on power waveforming. In one example, an apparatus for wireless power transmission is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: at least one antenna configured for receiving at least one wireless signal from a receiver, via a multipath channel between the apparatus and the receiver; and at least one processor configured for estimating at least one channel state information (CSI) of the multipath channel based on the at least one wireless signal, determining a power transmission waveform based on the at least one CSI, and calculating a power transfer signal based on the power transmission waveform and a reference signal. The at least one antenna is further configured for wirelessly transmitting the power transfer signal to the receiver.

Abstract: The present invention provides a joint channel estimation and data detection method for STBC/OFDM systems, comprising the following steps: a preliminary step, in which, after passing the received signals through an OFDM demodulator, frequency-domain signals R1[k] and R2[k] of the complementary-coded pilot preambles in two successive OFDM symbol times, as well as two successive OFDM data symbols R1(i)[k] and R2(i)[k] at the ith time slot, are obtained; an initial step for setting up the predetermined number Np of the channel path, using complementary-coded pilot preambles to estimate the channel impulse response, then using this estimation result of the channel impulse response to calculate a path selective set Sm,, and furthermore, in accordance with the path selective set Sm, determining the number Lm of the selected paths and the excess delay ?m,l of the selected path, and then calculating the initial channel state information vector y(1,0) and the Hessian matrix F; a tracking step, in which the initial val
