Abstract
Examples relate to a method of operating a first communication node (CN). The first CN is configured for controlling a re-configurable relaying device (RRD), in particular a re-configurable reflective device, the RRD being reconfigurable to provide multiple contemporaneous spatial polarization filterings, each one of the multiple spatial polarization filterings being associated with a respective input spatial direction from which incident signals on a radio channel are accepted and with a respective output spatial direction into which the incident signals are transmitted, in particular reflected, by the RRD. The method comprising providing, to a second CN, a message indicative of the RRD being configurable to transmit an incident signal from a second CN using an output spatial direction to the first CN depending on a property of the incident signal. Further examples, relate to methods of operating the second CN and the RRD. Still further examples, relate to corresponding first CNs, second CNs and RRDs.
