    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for user equipment (UE) positioning using one or more intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs). A method that may be performed by a UE includes for each IRS of the one or more IRSs: identifying a first IRS reflection center, measuring a first impulse response from the IRS to obtain a first measured impulse response representation, determining a first impulse response for a first ray reflected from the first IRS reflection center of the IRS, estimating a first position of the UE based on, at least, the first IRS reflection centers for each of the one or more IRSs and the first impulse responses for each of the one or more IRSs, and estimating a second position of the UE in an iterative manner until one or more conditions are satisfied.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to utilizing an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), a tracking algorithm, or both, to receive, calibrate, and maintain orbital angular momentum (OAM) signaling between wireless devices. The present disclosure describes a first wireless device transmitting spatial-multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) beams to the IRS such that reflected waves from the IRS form a spatial mixture of OAM modes. The IRS may reflect such OAM modes to a second wireless device for subsequent reflection (e.g., a second IRS), reception, calibration, and optimization. For example, the second wireless device may perform pattern recognition of the concentric OAM modes (e.g., by estimating ellipse geometry) to determine the modes of the OAM signaling. The second wireless device may also perform decorrelation, where small perturbations to the elliptical OAM geometry allow the second wireless device to perform one or more optimization techniques related to the OAM signaling.
