Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may include reflective elements and may reflect signals between a second and third device using the reflective elements. In some cases, the first device may receive signaling from the second device indicating a first subset of the reflective elements corresponding to a first phase configuration and a second subset of the reflective elements corresponding to a second phase configuration. In some other cases, the first device may receive signaling indicating a transmission beam of the second device. Here, the first device may identify the first and second subsets of the reflective elements based on an angle of arrival and departure associated with the indicated transmission beam. In either case, the first device may set the phase configurations of the reflective elements according to the first and second subsets.
