This paper proposes a novel channel estimation method, and a cluster-based opportunistic scheduling policy, that enhances the efficiency of wireless energy transfer in a system consisting of multiple energy receivers (ERs). Firstly, in the training stage, the energy transmitter (ET) obtains a set of RSSI feedback values from all ERs, and these values are used to estimate the channels between the ET and all ERs. Next, based on the channel estimates, the ERs are grouped into clusters, and the cluster that has its members closest to its centroid in phase is picked. This cluster will be given priority, and the beamformer that maximizes the minimum harvested energy among all ERs in the selected cluster is found by solving a convex optimization problem. This beamformer is used to transfer energy to the ERs using maximum ratio transmit beamforming. All ERs have the same chance of being selected regardless of their distances from the ET, and hence, this scheduling policy can be considered to be opportunistic as well as fair. It is shown that the proposed method achieves significant performance gains.
