| contents | Reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted integrated sensing and communication (RIS-ISAC) presents a promising system architecture to leverage the wide bandwidth available at millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, while mitigating severe signal propagation losses and reducing infrastructure costs. To enhance ISAC functionalities in the future air-ground integrated network applications, RIS deployment must be carefully designed and evaluated, which forms the core motivation of this paper. To ensure practical relevance, a multi-RIS-ISAC system is established, with its signal model at mmWave frequencies demonstrated using ray-launching calibrated to real-world environments. On this basis, an energy-efficiency-driven optimization problem is formulated to minimize the multi-RIS size-to-coverage sum ratio, comprehensively considering real-world RIS deployment constraints, positions, orientations, as well as ISAC beamforming strategies at both the base station and the RISs. To solve the resulting non-convex mixed-integer problem, a simplified reformulation based on equivalent gain scaling method is introduced. A two-step iterative algorithm is then proposed, in which the deployment parameters are determined under fixed RIS positions in the first step, and the RIS position set is updated in the second step to progressively approach the optimum solution. Simulation results based on realistic parameter benchmarks present that the optimized RISs deployment significantly enhances communication coverage and sensing accuracy with the minimum RIS sizes, outperforming existing approaches. |
