BEAMFORMING TECHNIQUES USING RANDOM-BASED PARAMETER SELECTION AT RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18549162 titled 'BEAMFORMING TECHNIQUES USING RANDOM-BASED PARAMETER SELECTION AT RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications using a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to transmit reference signals to a receiver. The RIS adjusts parameters to provide different beamformed parameters for reflected instances of each reference signal, based on channel measurements. The receiver selects a reference signal index value, which is communicated to the RIS for communication with the transmitter.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a transmitting device may transmit a set of reference signals to a receiver via a configurable surface such as a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). The RIS may randomly adjust one or more parameters for one or multiple RIS elements to provide different beamformed parameters for reflected instances of each reference signal from the RIS. Each reference signal may have a corresponding reference signal index value, and the receiver may provide an indication of a selected the reference signal index value based on channel measurements of the reference signals. The transmitting device may provide an indication to the RIS of the index value, and may communicate with the receiver based on the selected reference signal via the RIS, where the RIS uses the parameters associated with the RIS index value for the communications.
