Abstract: A communication system may include an access point (AP), user equipment (UE) device, and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). The UE may control the RIS by transmitting control signals that configure antenna elements on the RIS. The RIS may reflect wireless signals between the UE and the AP. The RIS may be known to the network. The UE may transmit a report to the AP that includes information about the RIS. The UE may receive assistance information from the AP. The UE may control the RIS based at least in part on the assistance information. The UE may transmit measurement reports to the AP. The AP may update its signal beams based on the information about the RIS and the measurement reports. Providing the network with awareness of the RIS may serve to optimize the wireless performance of the UE device and/or the network.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing communication in a wireless communication system. The communication may be semantic communication and/or may use a programmable protocol stack. A protocol stack at a transmitter and/or receiver may include customization from an application platform, e.g., which may replace one or more layers relative to a non-customized protocol stack. A transmitter may transmit data, via the customized protocol stack, using a best effort data channel, e.g., with transmission characteristics that are relatively lossy in comparison to a data channel used by the non-customized protocol stack. A receiver may receive the data and may determine whether reception is successful, e.g., from a semantic point of view. A media access control layer may interact with both the customized and non-customized stacks. The proposed system may support higher data rates, less retransmissions, and/or better quality of user experience.
