Original Abstract Submitted

A method of wireless communication at a first network node is disclosed herein. The method includes performing beam training with a RIS-MT array, wherein the RIS-MT array is associated with a RIS array. The method includes identifying, based on the beam training, a first beam for communication with the RIS-MT array. The method includes transmitting communication to the RIS array for reflection or refraction to a wireless device using a second beam based, at least in part, on the first beam identified for the RIS-MT array.
