Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods of utilizing controllable metasurface devices capable of redirecting a wavefront transmitted by a transmitter to a receiver in the wireless network to take advantage of the controllable metasurface device capabilities, intelligence, coordination and reconfiguration speed, and thereby enable solutions having different signaling details and capability requirements. Methods described herein provide mechanisms for identification of a RIS deployed in a communication network, identification of possible RIS to UE links, setup of base station (BS) to RIS links and RIS to UE links, activation of the RIS, and configuration of UEs to receive data from the BS via redirection by the RIS.
