This research introduces a joint optimization framework for UAM flight corridors and base station deployment. Using 3D ray tracing and a reciprocity-based greedy algorithm, the method minimizes infrastructure costs while ensuring link reliability. Preliminary results show significant gains over standard strategies. Ongoing work integrates RL-MCTS to refine solution quality further.
