But if waves transmit information, and the same information comes at all sides, won’t the signals that bounce off the reflector arrive after the waves with a direct line and thus transmit redundant information?
Waves can bounce off of everything, wifi/Bluetooth/cellular automatically compensate for this effect. There is a lot of signal processing involved with wireless data transmission to filter noise and correct errors. This is part of the reason why it’s taken decades to reach this level of wifi speeds and why Bluetooth has a real hard time matching wired audio.
