According to embodiments, an example method for positioning an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) using a transmitting device in a wireless communications network may comprise configuring the IRS to reflect a wireless reference signal back to the transmitting device and subsequent to configuring the IRS, transmitting the wireless reference signal from the transmitting device to the IRS. The method may also comprise receiving a wireless reflected signal at the transmitting device, wherein the wireless reflected signal comprises a reflection of the wireless reference signal, reflected by the IRS and determining measurements configured for positioning the IRS based at least in part on the wireless reflected signal, wherein a location of the IRS is determined based on the measurements.

According to embodiments, an example method of positioning a user equipment (UE) by a location server in a wireless communications network, the method may comprises receiving a request to perform positioning of the UE and receiving a notification from a first base station indicating that a transmission path between the first base station and the UE is via an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). The method may further comprise responsive, at least in part, to receiving the notification, preventing the positioning of the UE from being based on a reference signal transmitted through the transmission path between the first base station and the UE.

Systems and techniques are described for processing one or more images. For example, an imaging system may receive an image of an environment and detect a face of a person in the image. The imaging system may identify profile data associated with the person and retrieve, based on the profile data, a synthesized face. The imaging system may generate a modified image of the environment at least in part by modifying the image to use the synthesized face for the person in place of the face of the person. The imaging system may further output the modified image of the environment. In some examples, the imaging system uses trained machine learning model(s) to generate the modified image.
