MUMBAI, India, Oct. 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621036386 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Bhilai on March 25, 2026, for Minimum Reconfigurability Intelligent Reflecting Surface And Method For Configuring Same.
Inventors include Dr. Arzad Alam Kherani; and Kumar, Smriti.
The application for the patent was published on October 02, 2026, under issue no. 40/2026.
Abstract: The present invention provides an intelligent reflecting surface (100) that includes an array of reflecting elements (102) arranged on a surface and divided into a plurality of segments (104) (Seg 1, Seg 2, Seg 3), wherein each reflecting element is configured to operate with a limited number of discrete phase states for reflecting incident wireless signals, and wherein each segment is associated with a respective sector of a coverage area and is configured with a static phase configuration. The intelligent reflecting surface may include a transition zone between adjacent segments, wherein reflecting elements within the transition zone are configured with blended phase configurations using spatial tapering. The static phase configuration may be determined during a calibration procedure that includes a factory coarse calibration and a field calibration performed in a deployment environment based on received signal strength measurements.
