Abstract
A method, controller and network node for using intelligent surfaces in a wireless communication system are disclosed. According to one aspect, method in a network node configured to communicate with a wireless device (WD), via a reconfigurable reflective surface, the reconfigurable reflective surface being controllable by a controller and being applied to a structure to controllably reflect signals exchanged between the network node and the WD. The method includes determining a configuration of the reconfigurable reflective surface associated with the WD, the determined configuration being associated with a particular reflection coefficient, transmitting to the controller of the reconfigurable reflective surface, an indication of the determined configuration, and receiving signals from the WD at least partially via reflection at the reconfigurable reflective surface.
