    Abstract: A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) may include multiple sub-RIS, and the base station may configure the RIS and the multiple sub-RIS with RIS sync raster including multiple center frequencies. The RIS may be configured to simultaneously apply different water-markings and reflect the incident beam into different beams in different directions. The base station may perform a beam-sweeping by transmitting synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) on multiple SSB beams, and the RIS may receive one SSB beam of the multiple SSB beams and reflect the SSB beams on the RIS sync raster. A UE may be configured to monitor the base sync raster and the RIS sync raster for a suitable SSB beam, and transmit a feedback report to the base station indicating the suitable beam. The base station may configure the RIS based on the feedback report received from the base station for beam management.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit, from a UE to a base station, one or more reference signals over a channel. The UE may receive, from the base station based at least in part on transmitting the one or more reference signals, control signaling indicating a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and a rank indicator (RI) based at least in part on the UE having at least eight transmit antennas and based at least in part on a phase difference between different subsets of transmit antennas of the at least eight transmit antennas. The UE may transmit, to the base station, an uplink transmission configured according to the PMI and the RI.

    Abstract: A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving multiple reference signals (RSs), each RS of the plurality of RSs being associated with a reflection from a respective reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), of multiple RISs, or with a direct transmission from a base station. The method also includes receiving, from the base station, a RIS configuration indicating a set of operative RISs, of the plurality of RISs, that reflect an uplink transmission from the UE. The method further includes transmitting, to the base station, an uplink message according to an uplink transmission power, the uplink transmission power being based on an effective pathloss that is a function of each pathloss of a set of pathlosses respectively associated with a set of RSs, of the multiple RSs, that are respectively associated with the set of operative RISs or the base station.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For instance, a base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), control signaling indicating a configuration for transmitting a reference signal for reconfigurable surface configuration. The base station may receive, via a reconfigurable surface, the reference signal based on transmitting the control signaling. For instance, the reconfigurable surface may reflect the reference signal to the base station using a first configuration of the reconfigurable surface. The base station may transmit, to a controller of the reconfigurable surface, a set of parameters for configuring the reconfigurable surface to a second configuration for communications between the base station and the UE based on receiving the reference signal via the reconfigurable surface.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may communicate on first and second carriers, and may support either two transmit chains or three transmit chains on a second carrier. A base station may configure different sounding reference signal (SRS) resources for different numbers of transmit chains. SRS resources configured with two ports may indicate two transmit chains, and SRS resource configured with three ports may indicate three transmit chains. The base station may indicate an index associated with an SRS resource, and the UE may select (e.g., based on a mapping between the SRS Configuration Information resource index and a number of SRS ports and a number of transmit chains), a corresponding SRS resource, number of ports, number of transmit chains, or any combination thereof. The base station may indicate a number of transmit chains for a given SRS resource based on a PMI index.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) communication. A method that may be performed by a network entity includes determining a subset of RISs controlled by the network entity to be activated or deactivated and transmitting, to each RIS of the subset of RISs, signaling activating or deactivating the subset of RISs in accordance with the determination. In response to receiving such signaling, each RIS of the subset of RISs may activate or deactivate in accordance with the signaling.
