To exploit the benefits of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technologies, in this work, we propose the use of multiple passive RISs, each of which is attached to a UAV, in order to extend network coverage from a massive multiple-input multiple-output base st...
