Methods and apparatus are described for enhanced node communication within a wireless node network having nodes and a server. The method begins with a first node associating with a second node, and the first node capturing relevant node information. When the first node is in a first connectivity mode, the relevant node information is transmitted to the server via the second node operating as an intermediary for indirect communication with the server. When the first node is in a second connectivity mode, the first node transmits the relevant node information to the server without using the second node as the intermediary or bridge to the server. Each of the first node and second node may be wireless transceiver-based nodes and respectively implemented as integrated circuits.

A wireless power receiver includes a power pickup configured to receive a wireless power from a wireless power transmitter, and a communicator/controller configured to control the wireless power. The wireless power receiver transmits, to the wireless power transmitter during a configuration phase, a configuration packet including an AI flag related to whether the wireless power receiver supports an authentication function, receives, from the wireless power transmitter during a negotiation phase, a capability packet including an AR flag and a potential power value of the wireless power transmitter, wherein the AR flag is related to whether the wireless power transmitter supports the authentication function, and performs a power transfer phase with the wireless power transmitter. The wireless power receiver transmits, to the wireless power transmitter during the power transfer phase, an authentication request message, and receives, from the wireless power transmitter during the power transfer phase, an authentication response message.

Methods, systems and apparatus are described for enhanced node communication within a wireless node network having nodes and a server. The method begins with a first node associating with a second according to a server tracked logical connection authorized by the server. The first node captures relevant node information including shared data from another of the nodes. The first node transmits, when operating in a first connectivity mode, at least the shared data to the server using the second node operating as an intermediary for indirect communication with the server. The first node transmits, when operating in a second connectivity mode, at least the shared data to the server without using the second intermediary node by having the first node transmitting a message with at least the shared data to the server while avoiding the need to first send the message to the second node during transit to the server.
