Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node via a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a synchronization signal block (SSB). The UE may establish, based at least in part on receiving the SSB, a network connection with the network node, wherein establishing the network connection includes performing a random access procedure via the RIS and transmitting a control signal for controlling the RIS. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims23
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive, from a network node via a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a synchronization signal block (SSB);
- and
- establish, based at least in part on receiving the SSB, a network connection with the network node, wherein the one or more processors, to establish the network connection, are configured to perform a random access procedure via the RIS and transmit a control signal for controlling the RIS.
19-20. (canceled)
A network node for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- output a synchronization signal block (SSB);
- and
- establish, based at least in part on the SSB, a network connection with a user equipment (UE), wherein the one or more processors, to establish the network connection, are configured to perform a random access procedure via a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) configured to be controlled by the UE.
22-24. (canceled)
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a network node via a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a synchronization signal block (SSB);
- and
- establishing, based at least in part on receiving the SSB, a network connection with the network node, wherein establishing the network connection includes performing a random access procedure via the RIS and transmitting a control signal for controlling the RIS.
