Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a surface including at least one electro-magnetic reflective element programmed to provide a plurality of reflected signals, such that the plurality of reflected signals constructively adds at a location of a receiver of the plurality of reflected signals.
A method comprising:
- receiving configuration information for an apparatus including a surface, the surface further including at least one electro-magnetic reflective element;
- and
- programing, based on the received configuration information, a configuration of the surface including the at least one electro-magnetic reflective element, such that a plurality of reflected signals constructively add at a location of a receiver of the plurality of reflected signals.
