Aerial Platforms with Reconfigurable Smart Surfaces for 5G and Beyond

Aerial platforms are expected to deliver enhanced and seamless connectivity in the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond (B5G). Alternatively, reconfigurable smart surfaces (RSS), which smartly exploit/recycle signal reflections in the environment, are increasingly being recognized as a new wireless communication paradigm to improve communication links. In fact, their reduced cost, low power use, light weight, and flexible deployment make them an attractive candidate for integration with 5G/B5G technologies. In this article, we discuss comprehensive approaches to the integration of RSS in aerial platforms. First, we present a review of RSS technology, its operations, and types of communication. Next, we describe how RSS can be used in aerial platforms, and we propose a control architecture workflow. Then several potential use cases are presented and discussed. Finally, associated research challenges are identified.
