Orientation-Aware Control and Trajectory Design for Aerial RIS-Assisted Wireless Communications

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 19, 2026 · UTC

Aerial Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (ARISs) can enhance wireless connectivity in obstructed environments by combining reconfigurable metasurfaces with aerial mobility. However, in practical deployments, the Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) is rigidly mounted on a multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which creates coupled position-orientation dynamics that directly affect communication quality. Since RIS performance is highly sensitive to orientation, point-mass or orientation-invariant models may lead to optimistic performance estimates. This paper proposes an orientation-
