Trajectory and Phase Shift Optimization for RIS-Equipped UAV in FSO Communications with Atmospheric and Pointing Error Loss

This paper proposes a new framework for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-equipped unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in free-space optical (FSO) communication. To ensure practicality, we consider atmospheric loss caused by fog, which leads to an inhomogeneous medium for laser propagation. In ad...
