Abstract
In aspects, a base station establishes a wireless connection with a user equipment, UE. The base station determines to include at least a first adaptive phase-changing device, APD, and a second APD in a wireless communication path with the UE. In response to determining to include multiple APDs in the communication path, the base station determines a first surface configuration for a first surface of the first APD and a second surface configuration for a second surface of the second APD. The base station directs the first APD to apply the first surface configuration to the first surface and directs the second APD to apply the second surface configuration to the second surface. The base station and the UE communicate with the UE using wireless transmissions that travel along a wireless communication path that includes the first surface of the first APD and the second surface of the second APD.
