AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing systems for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) cannot determine a configuration that effectively resolves coverage gaps, particularly on high-frequency carriers, by improving signal quality for mobile devices.
Method used
A system that causes a RIS to successively use multiple candidate configurations over time intervals, with mobile devices performing measurements and reporting results, allowing the system to determine and implement the optimal RIS configuration that improves coverage.
Benefits of technology
This approach enables the determination of an RIS configuration that enhances signal quality for mobile devices, effectively addressing coverage gaps and improving overall network performance.

Abstract
A system for determining a configuration for a reconfigurable intelligent surface (21), which is able to alter the propagation environment of wireless signals in a controlled manner, is configured to cause the reconfigurable intelligent surface to successively use a plurality of candidate configurations during a plurality of time intervals. Each of the time intervals corresponds to one of the candidate configurations. The system is further configured to cause a set of mobile devices (31-36) to perform measurements on wireless signals transmitted by one or more base stations (11) in the plurality of time intervals and report the measurements, receive measurement reports from the set of mobile devices, determine the configuration of the reconfigurable intelligent surface based on the measurement reports, and cause the reconfigurable intelligent surface to use the determined configuration. The measurement reports comprise results of the measurements.
