Abstract

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-assisted uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communications have been realized as essential to space-air-group system integration in the 6 G technology landscape. Trajectory planning plays a crucial role in RIS-assisted UAV communications to face the challenges of UAV’s limited power capacities and dynamic wireless channels. Existing solutions assume complete channel state information, focus on single-rotor UAVs, and rely heavily on time-consuming training processes for machine learning; thus, they lack applicability to deal with highly dynamic real-world scenarios. To fill these research gaps, we aim to characterize RIS-assisted UAV communications and design responsive and…
