CLUSTERING OF RIS ELEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240120967 titled 'CLUSTERING OF RIS ELEMENTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a configuration for clustering reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) elements, where the apparatus receives a cluster configuration of an RIS from a controller, performs a beam training procedure on the clusters, and transmits feedback indications to a base station based on the optimal configuration for each cluster.
- The apparatus receives a cluster configuration of an RIS from a controller.
- The apparatus performs a beam training procedure on the clusters of the RIS.
- The beam training procedure includes transmitting a sequence of reference signals to each cluster.
- The apparatus transmits feedback indications to a base station indicating optimal configurations for each cluster based on the beam training procedure.
- The apparatus receives a downlink signal reflected by a set or group of clusters of RIS from the base station.

Original Abstract Submitted
a configuration for clustering of reconfigurable intelligent surface (ris) elements. the apparatus receives, from an ris controller, a cluster configuration of a ris comprising a plurality of clusters. the apparatus performs a beam training procedure on the plurality of clusters of the ris. the beam training procedure including transmission of a sequence of a plurality of reference signals to each cluster of the plurality of clusters. the apparatus transmits, to a base station, a feedback indication indicating an optimal configuration for each cluster of the plurality of clusters based at least on the beam training procedure. the apparatus receives a downlink signal reflected by a set or group of clusters of ris from the base station.
