METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING REFLECTING SURFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17870389 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING REFLECTING SURFACE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and systems for configuring a reflecting surface. The base station receives discovery signals from the reflecting surface and estimates the direction of a panel of the reflecting surface for transmission and reception. It identifies a set of beam formed reference signals transmitted in the direction of the panel and configures at least one reference signal to the reflecting surface based on the identified set of beam formed reference signals.
- The base station receives discovery signals from a reflecting surface.

Original Abstract Submitted
The embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for configuring an reflecting surface. A method by a base station comprises: receiving at least one discovery signal from the reflecting surface; estimating a direction of a panel of the reflecting surface for transmission and reception using at least one spatial information based on the received at least one discovery signal; identifying a set of beam formed reference signals transmitted in the direction of the panel of the reflecting surface; and configuring at least one reference signal to the reflecting surface based on the identified set of beam formed reference signals.
