Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) coverage for millimeter wave communication

A system, comprising:

• a radio frequency (RF) transmitter device configured to transmit a plurality of RF signals via a first radio signal path of a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio path;
• a first equipment communicatively coupled to the RF transmitter device via the first radio signal path,
• wherein the first equipment is selected based on a first set of criteria,
• wherein the first equipment is configured to:
• receive the plurality of RF signals from the RF transmitter device via the first radio signal path;
• and
• transmit the received plurality of RF signals via a second radio path of the NLOS radio path, based on a phase shift of each of the plurality of RF signals;
• and
• a second equipment communicatively coupled to the first equipment over a second radio signal path,
• wherein the second equipment is selected based on a second set of criteria, wherein the second equipment is configured to:
• receive the plurality of RF signals transmitted by the first equipment;
• and
• transmit a directed beam of RF signals via a third radio path of the NLOS radio path to an RF receiver device,
• wherein the directed beam of RF signals is transmitted based on the received plurality of RF signals.

A method, comprising:

• in a reflector device:
• adjusting a first amplification gain of each of a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals received from a first equipment via a first radio path of a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio path;
• performing a first phase shift on each of the plurality of RF signals with the adjusted first amplification gain to generate a plurality of first phase-shifted RF signals;
• communicating a combination of the plurality of first phase-shifted RF signals;
• performing a second phase shift on each of the plurality of first phase-shifted RF signals to generate a plurality of second phase-shifted RF signals;
• and
