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 an adaptive phase-changing device (APD) for configuring a surface of the APD, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, an indication of an APD power saving (APD-PS) configuration that specifies a framework for operating in an enabled APD-PS mode;
- and
- operating in the enabled APD-PS mode by performing at least one APD-PS state transition specified by the APD-PS configuration.
An adaptive phase-changing device (APD) comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- computer-readable storage media comprising instructions, executable by the processor, to configure the APD to:
- receive, from a base station, an indication of an APD power saving (APD-PS) configuration that specifies a framework for operating in an enabled APD-PS mode;
- and
- operate in the enabled APD-PS mode by performing at least one APD-PS state transition specified by the APD-PS configuration.
