Decision Transformer for UAV-Mounted RIS-Assisted Dynamic D2D Communications
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.09885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-mouted reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communication with stochastic link activation. It models UAV motion and attitude, time-varying Rician angles, and angle-dependent RIS reflection. A joint optimization of UAV trajectory, attitude, and RIS phases is formulated to maximize average sum rate under mobility, energy, and hardware constraints. The problem is addressed using deep reinforcement learning and a Decision Transformer trained on expert trajectories fr

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
