Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for a network entity to determine a beam focusing distance for a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) for a user equipment (UE) located in the near field region of the RIS. The beam focusing distance may be determined using reference signals for different test beam focusing distances within the near field region of the RIS. The test beams may have a same angular direction from the RIS to the UE. The test beams may have a beam focusing distance selected from a set of beam focusing distances within the near field region of the RIS.
