Using unmanned mobile vehicles to apply surfaces to reflect communication signals for provision as a service

Abstract

The technologies described herein are generally directed to detecting reflective surfaces for use reflecting a signal from access point equipment to destination equipment in advanced networks, e.g., at least a fifth generation (5G) network. For example, a method described herein can include receiving a request to establish a reflective path usable to facilitate a connection between user equipment and access point equipment, resulting in reflected path information corresponding to the reflective path. The method can further include, based on the reflected path information, selecting a location for a reflective surface to facilitate the connection by the access point equipment. The method can further include, facilitating communicating the reflected path information to the access point equipment.
