Abstract
A base station may identify one or more beams toward a node for communication with at least one UE. The one or more beams may correspond to a plurality of beams from the node. The base station may transmit, to the node, an indication to adjust a surface phase of the node corresponding to the one or more beams or one of the plurality of beams from the node. The base station may select at least one beam of the plurality of beams from the node for communication with the at least one UE. The base station may communicate with the at least one UE via the node and the at least one beam. The at least one beam of the plurality of beams from the node may be based on a defocusing operation associated with a virtual focal point.
