Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a receiver may receive, from a transmitter, an indication of a signature of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). The receiver may receive a signal that is transmitted by the transmitter and redirected by the RIS. The receiver may receive, from the RIS, a sequence associated with the signature of the RIS indicating that the signal is transmitted using a link associated with the RIS. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims20
A receiver for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- receive a signal that is transmitted by a transmitter, the signal including an indication of a relay when the signal is received via an indirect communications link that includes the relay;
- and
- perform an action associated with communicating with the transmitter based at least in part on whether the signal is received via a direct communications link between the receiver and the transmitter or the indirect communications link.
A method of wireless communication performed by a receiver for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a signal that is transmitted by a transmitter, the signal including an indication of a relay when the signal is received via an indirect communications link that includes the relay;
- and
- performing an action associated with communicating with the transmitter based at least in part on whether the signal is received via a direct communications link between the receiver and the transmitter or the indirect communications link.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a receiver, cause the receiver to:
- receive a signal that is transmitted by a transmitter, the signal including an indication of a relay when the signal is received via an indirect communications link that includes the relay;
- and
- perform an action associated with communicating with the transmitter based at least in part on whether the signal is received via a direct communications link between the receiver and the transmitter or the indirect communications link.
