    Abstract: A node including a non-planar reflective surface is disclosed. The node may receive, from a base station, an indication of a surface configuration of at least one convex reflective surface of the node. The indication may indicate that the surface configuration corresponds to at least one of a broadcast configuration or a UE-specific configuration. The node may configure, upon receiving the indication of the surface configuration, the at least one convex reflective surface based on the surface configuration. The surface configuration may correspond to at least one of the broadcast configuration or the UE-specific configuration. The node may forward communication received from, or forward communication to, the base station based on the surface configuration of the at least one convex reflective surface.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may receive a random access channel (RACH) message. The base station may determine, based at least in part on the RACH message, whether the RACH message was transmitted directly to the base station by a user equipment (UE) or whether the RACH message was relayed from the UE to the base station via a millimeter wave repeater. The base station may perform a beam management procedure based at least in part on the determination. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may receive, from a repeater having a first interface and a second interface, information associated with one or more capabilities of the repeater, the second interface being different from the first interface. The base station may determine an operation mode for the repeater based at least in part on the information associated with the one or more capabilities of the repeater, and may communicate with the repeater via the first interface or the second interface. In some aspects, a repeater may transmit, to a base station via a first interface, information associated with one or more capabilities of the repeater, and may communicate via the first interface or via a second interface in accordance with an indicated operation mode, the second interface being different from the first interface. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may receive, via a set of reception antenna groups having a first antenna spacing that is independent from a distance between the network node and a transmitting device, signals associated with a spatially multiplexed communication having a first number of multiple layers per polarization. The network node may forward, via a set of transmission antenna groups having a second antenna spacing that is independent from a distance between the relay and a receiving device, the signals associated with the spatially multiplexed communication having a second number of multiple layers per polarization. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may transmit, via a beam and via a first subset of intelligent reflection surfaces (IRSs), a first transmission comprising a first reference signal or a first sounding reference signal (SRS) request. The network node may obtain a first signal quality measurement based at least in part on the first transmission. The network node may transmit, via the beam and via a second subset of IRSs, a second transmission, the second transmission comprising a second reference signal or a second SRS request. The network node may obtain a second signal quality measurement based at least in part on the second transmission. The network node may identify at least one IRS based at least in part on the first signal quality measurement and the second signal quality measurement. Numerous other aspects are described.
