    摘要: Provided herein are techniques through which a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) device can be controlled to facilitate various wireless local area network (WLAN) communication optimizations. In one example, a method may include providing, by a wireless access point (AP) to an RIS device that includes reflecting elements, tuning information for an RIS tuning procedure that is to be performed by the wireless AP involving a wireless client; performing the RIS tuning procedure with involving wireless client in which the RIS tuning procedure includes performing a plurality of transmissions in which the RIS device is to configure the reflecting elements according to a particular dispersion mode configuration for each transmission; and identifying a guard interval value and a particular dispersion mode configuration of the RIS device that is to be utilized for subsequent transmissions involving the wireless client.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to simultaneous operation of Wi-Fi access points in a super cell mode and a standalone mode and controlling connectivity of end terminals thereto. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a configuration for a group of access points operating within a network, the configuration allowing each access point of the group to operate in a super cell mode over a shared frequency channel and a standalone mode over a non-shared frequency channel. The method further includes determining, for an end terminal, whether the end terminal is to connect to the network over the shared frequency channel or the non-shared frequency channel based on a network policy to yield a determination; and controlling connectivity of the end terminal to at least one access point of the group of access points over the shared frequency channel or the non-shared frequency channel based on the determination.
