AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Wireless communication systems face challenges in maintaining effective cellular coverage through blocking objects, such as buildings or vehicles, due to signal attenuation and penetration loss.
Method used
The use of transmissive surfaces (TSs) configured to refract incident signals in association with specific fields of view (FOVs) enables the expansion of cellular coverage by redirecting and widening incident beams through blocking objects.
Benefits of technology
This approach allows for improved cellular coverage without increasing power consumption, by redirecting beams to areas with predicted UE traffic and widening beams to cover larger regions on the opposite side of blocking objects.

Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may communicate with at least one user equipment (UE), wherein a blocking object is disposed between the network node and the at least one UE, the blocking object comprising at least one transmissive surface configured to refract incident beams. Numerous other aspects are described.
