    Abstract: A relay apparatus includes a plurality of reflection elements that applies independent phase shifts to an incoming wave, a communication circuitry that receives transmission point information from one or more transmission points, an element allocation circuitry, and a phase control circuitry. The element allocation circuitry determines the number of communication links to be established via the relay apparatus based on the transmission point information, determines the number of reflection elements to be allocated to each of the communication links, and determines a reflection element to be allocated to each of the communication links according to the number of the reflection elements. The phase control circuitry determines the phase weights so that a beam directed to a reception point being a communication destination of each communication link is generated by a reflection wave generated by each reflection element allocated to each of the communication links.

Embodiments described herein present systems, devices, and methods that provide increased range, data rate, and robustness to interference and jamming. A distributed mosaic wireless network includes a transmitter, a receiver, and one or more distributed clusters of radios referred to herein as mosaics or relay mosaics. Each mosaic consists of several distributed, cooperative radio transceivers (e.g., mosaic nodes) that relay a signal sent by the transmitter towards the receiver. In some embodiments, a single-stage beamforming technique is implemented whereby the transmitter sends a signal to a first mosaic, which then relays this signal by beamforming to the receiver. In some embodiments, a multi-stage beamforming technique is implemented whereby the transmitter sends a signal to a first mosaic, which then relays this signal by beamforming to a second mosaic, which then relays this signal by beamforming to the receiver.
