1. A method of transmitting power by a wireless power transmitter, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of packets including a foreign object detection (FOD) status packet from a wireless power receiver;
determining whether a foreign object is present in a charging area of the wireless power transmitter on the basis of the FOD status packet; and
transmitting, to the wireless power receiver, a response signal indicating whether the foreign object is present in the charging area of the wireless power transmitter on the basis of a result of the determination,
wherein the response signal is determined using a measured peak frequency of a power signal transmitted by the wireless power transmitter and a reference peak frequency included in the FOD status packet received from the wireless power receiver,
wherein each of the plurality of packets includes a preamble, a header, a message, and a checksum for identifying whether an error occurs in each packet, and
wherein the header is configured to identify a type of the each packet.
