Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are described for adaptive phase-changing device power-saving operations. In aspects, a base station determines to transition an adaptive phase-changing device (APD) into an enabled APD-PS mode and determines an APD-PS configuration for the APD that specifies a framework for operating in the enabled APD-PS mode. The base station then directs the APD to operate in the enabled APD-PS mode by communicating the APD-PS configuration to the APD and transmits or receives wireless signals using a surface of the APD and based on the APD-PS configuration.
Claims20
A method performed by a base station for using an adaptive phase-changing device (APD) in a wireless network based on an APD power saving configuration (APD-PS configuration of the APD), the method comprising:
- selecting an APD-PS configuration for the APD that specifies a framework for operating in an enabled APD-PS mode;
- directing the APD to operate in the enabled APD-PS mode by communicating the APD-PS configuration to the APD;
- and
- transmitting or receiving wireless signals using a surface of the APD and based on the APD-PS configuration.
A base station comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- computer-readable storage media comprising instructions, executable by the processor, to configure the base station to:
- select an APD-PS configuration for the APD that specifies a framework for operating in an enabled APD-PS mode;
- direct the APD to operate in the enabled APD-PS mode by communicating the APD-PS configuration to the APD;
- and
- transmit or receive wireless signals using a surface of the APD and based on the APD-PS configuration.
