Abstract

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is one of the potential key technologies for sixth generation (6G) communications

which has the characteristics of low cost

low complexity

and easy deployment. By applying control signals to adjustable elements on the electromagnetic unit

it has the ability to adjusting the wireless communication environments

which provides a new opportunity to improve the high energy-efficiency performance of wireless communication systems. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of channel modeling and characteristics analysis for RIS-assisted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) high energy-efficiency communications. Firstly

based on the research basis of the UAV communications technologies

we clarify the necessities of introducing the RIS into UAV communications. Then

we summarize the key technologies for channel modeling and characteristics analysis for RIS-assisted UAV communications. Finally

we point out some future research directions in RIS-assisted UAV channel modeling and characteristics analysis.
