    Abstract: An orbital angular momentum (OAM) antenna includes two or more concentric antenna arrays, each of the antenna arrays corresponding to one or more OAM orders and including a different respective set of antenna elements arranged at a different respective radius, a difference between respective radii of each pair of adjacent antenna arrays of the two or more concentric antenna arrays decreasing as antenna array indexes associated with the respective pair of adjacent antenna arrays increase, each of the antenna array indexes satisfying a threshold index condition. The OAM antenna also includes two or more phase shifters, each of the phase shifters corresponding to a different respective antenna array of the two or more concentric antenna arrays and configured to trigger the respective set of antenna elements of the corresponding antenna array to generate a respective OAM beam

    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. A wireless device (e.g., a base station) may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of a field type of a field between the UE and the wireless device. The indication of the field type may include one or more bits indicating the field type, a measure indicating a likelihood that the field type includes a first field type as compared to a second field type, an indication that the first type is the same as a second field type configured at the UE, or any combination thereof. The UE may select between a first set of beam weight vectors and a second set of beam weight vectors based on the field type. The UE may communicate, with the base station, a reference signal using a beam generated using a first beam weight vector from the selected set.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for connection setup in an orbital angular momentum (OAM)-based communication system are described. A first device and a second device may establish an OAM communications connection between the devices. The first device and the second device may exchange a series of messages over a downlink communications link and an uplink communications link according to an OAM mode. Based on OAM related parameters or OAM related information included in the messages, the first device and the second device may achieve a successful directional alignment (co-axial alignment) between the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device may determine one or more orbital angular momentum modes for communication between the first device and the second device based on the establishing the directional alignment.
