1. A method comprising:
transmitting channel measurement configuration information to a user equipment (UE), the channel measurement configuration information for configuring the UE to measure a channel between a base station (BS) and the UE for which a signal on the channel has been reflected by a reflective intelligent surface (RIS);
transmitting physical layer configuration information for the UE, the physical layer configuration information for configuring the UE to receive data from the BS or transmit data to the BS that is reflected by the RIS; and
transmitting data to the RIS or receiving data from the RIS.
