contents In a recent work (Lee, Baccelli $'25$), a one dimensional stochastic geometry model was introduced to study Line of Sight (LoS) connections using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), in the context of non terrestrial networks. In this model, signal can be propagated in a urban environment, with buildings acting as obstacles with RIS (which, for the scope of this present article can essentially be thought of as relays) on their rooftops, relaying the connection. The present paper extends this model by both allowing arbitrary distributions for the buildings heights, and considering multi-hop connections. Those generalities also lead to considering structural problems linked to the total load of a relay. Furthermore, studying this Line of Sight connection geometry at the light of geometric random graph theory, we show that it constitutes a computationally well understood example that highlights the different classes of the Eternal Family Trees (EFTs) classification.
