Patent attributes
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for intelligent reflecting surface configuration. The method may include scanning for synchronization signal blocks and reflection surface synchronization signal blocks during a cell search at a frequency on a synchronization raster. The method may also include determining whether a synchronization signal block or a reflection surface synchronization signal block is detected as a result of the scanning. The method may further include selecting a detected synchronization signal block or a detected reflection synchronization signal block based on a measurement metric of the detected synchronization signal block and the detected reflection synchronization signal block. In addition, the method may include performing an access procedure with a network element using the selected synchronization signal block or the selected reflection synchronization signal block.
