AERIS is an offline policy improvement framework for multi-UAV integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) that learns from fixed flight logs using centralized training and decentralized execution. It introduces STAR-CRDT, an offline multi-agent RL algorithm that rectifies local actions and distills trusted improvements into decentralized actors, providing an offline-support policy improvement guarantee. Experiments demonstrate that STAR-CRDT boosts the main ISAC objective return by 29.3% and improves communication sum rate, sensing pass rate, and sensing margin while reducing collision-risk events by 54.2%.

The paper proposes a hierarchical Open Radio Access Network (O‑RAN) control framework for tethered millimeter‑wave UAV‑mounted 5G base stations (gNBs). A Non‑Real‑Time RIC application jointly manages UAV placement and slice budgets, while a Near‑Real‑Time RIC application allocates per‑user resources using a permutation‑equivariant DeepSets Soft Actor‑Critic scheduler. This two‑level controller improves eMBB service‑level agreement satisfaction by up to 17 % and URLLC on‑time delivery by up to 42 % compared with conventional schedulers.
