In an aspect, a method of wireless communication performed by a base station (BS) includes obtaining a resource-level muting bitmap for a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), wherein the resource-level muting bitmap identifies sets of time and frequency resources during which the RIS should be enabled to reflect a transmission beam or disabled from reflecting a transmission beam, and requesting the RIS to be enabled or disabled according to the resource-level muting bitmap.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station and via a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to a first SSB type configured for RIS-assisted procedures. The UE may select a random access channel (RACH) occasion including multiple physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission slots based at least in part on receiving the SSB corresponding to the first SSB type. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a PRACH communication in the multiple PRACH transmission slots of the RACH occasion. Numerous other aspects are described.

A radio channel may comprise a first component between two devices, and second and third components via the controllable scatterer. First reference signal(s) may be transmitted with the controllable scatterer configured to alter a propagation of signals such that influence of the second and third components of the radio channel is mitigated. Second reference signal(s) may be transmitted with the controllable scatterer configured to alter a propagation of signals such that influence of the second and third components of the radio channel is increased. An estimate of the first component may be determined based on the first reference signal(s) and an estimate of the third component may be determined based on the second reference signal(s) and a pre-computed estimate of the second component.

Techniques and apparatuses are described for intra-user equipment-coordination set (intra-UECS) communication via an adaptive phase-changing device (APD) are described. In aspects, a base station selects an APD for use by a first user equipment-coordination set, UECS), in an intra-UECS communication path. The base station communicates APD information about the APD to a first coordinating user equipment, UE, of the first UECS. In aspects, the base station the apportions APD-access to the APD for the first UECS and indicates the apportioned APD-access to the first coordinating UE of the first UECS.

Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, a wireless node (e.g., UE or BS) measures a first TOA of a first SRS-P from a UE, a second TOA of a reflection of a second SRS-P from the UE off of a first RIS, and a third TOA of a reflection of a third SRS-P from the UE off of a second RIS. The UE transmits, to a position estimation entity, measurement information based on the first, second and third TOAs. The position estimation entity determines a positioning estimate of the UE based at least in part on the measurement information.

An example wireless communication method includes receiving, by a first network node from a second network node, a configuration information that indicates information about a number of spatial settings configured for the first network node, where each of the number of spatial settings corresponds to a spatial domain filter used by the first network node to communicate with one or more communication nodes.

Mechanisms for adjusting atoms of an Intelligent Reflective Surface (IRS) are provided. A method is performed by a controller configured to control an IRS comprising an array of atoms, each having an individually adjustable phase shift and gain. At least some of the atoms are provided with a measurement sensor. The method comprises obtaining, from the measurement sensors, measurements of received power of a signal transmitted from a user equipment and received by the atoms and determining, by a gradient in received power between two of the measurement sensors is larger than a threshold value, that the user equipment is in near-field of the IRS. The method comprises, as a result thereof, adjusting the phase shift of a first subset of the atoms for reflection at the IRS of subsequent communication between a network node and the user equipment when the user equipment is in the near-field of the IRS.
