A system and method for a self-system analysis in a wireless power transmission network is disclosed. According to some aspects of this disclosure a wireless power transmission network may include one or more wireless power transmitter managers, one or more wireless power receivers, servers, and clouds within a local network to provide wireless power transfer to electronic devices. Wireless power devices in the network may establish, but is not limited to a WiFi connection to share information among all the wireless power devices in the system. Wireless power transmitter managers may monitor everything that happens in the network. If a problem is detected by the wireless power transmitter manager, an analysis of the issue may be done by any device in the network with a copy of the device database. Then a recommendation may be generated for enhancing the system.

The system of claim 10, wherein the communication apparatus is further configured to send the recommendation to an individual in charge of managing a wireless power network that includes the wireless transmitter manager, wherein the sending is in response to the detecting of the fault. 14. The system of claim 10, wherein the wireless power transmitter manager is also configured to: in response to detecting the fault, provide a visual indication that a fault has been detected. 15. The system of claim 10, wherein: the wireless power receiver is configured to communicate an advertisement signal,the wireless power receiver is configured to be assigned to the wireless power transmitter manager based at least in part on a determination that a signal strength level of the advertisement signal as detected by the wireless power transmitter manager is higher than respective signal strength levels of the advertisement signal as detected by each of the other wireless power transmitter managers. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the wireless power transmitter manager, while the wireless power receiver is assigned to the wireless power transmitter manager, is configured to have exclusive control over updating information for the device in the device database. 17. The system of claim 10, wherein the wireless power transmitter manager is configured to perform the analyzing of the fault locally. 18. The system of claim 10, wherein the RF waves transmitted from the wireless power transmitter converge at the wireless power receiver to form constructive interference patterns as three-dimensional pockets of energy. 19.
