MUMBAI, India, July 25 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202547068249 A) filed by Qualcomm Incorporated, San Diego, on July 17, for 'techniques for distance scanning in a near field region of a reconfigurable intelligent surface.'
Inventor(s) include Yapici, Yavuz; Prasad, Narayan; Luo, Tao; and Li, Junyi.
The application for the patent was published on July 25, under issue no. 30/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for a network entity to determine a beam focusing distance for a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) for a user equipment (UE) located in the near field region of the RIS. The beam focusing distance may be determined using reference signals for different test beam focusing distances within the near field region of the RIS. The test beams may have a same angular direction from the RIS to the UE. The test beams may have a beam focusing distance selected from a set of beam focusing distances within the near field region of the RIS."
The patent application was internationally filed on Mar. 01, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/018045.
