Resource Allocation for Adaptive Beam Alignment in UAV-Assisted Integrated Sensing and Communication Networks

Résumé fourni par la source

Due to the high dynamic of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the beam of UAV-mounted aerial base station (ABS) is difficult to align with ground users (GUs) and macro-cell base stations (MBSs), thereby reducing the communication rate. Towards this end, the channel state information of communication is used to assist onboard radar of ABS to sense the locations of GUs and MBSs for beam alignment to increase communication rate. To clarify the mechanism of mutual assistance between sensing and communication, we first derive the fundamental communication rate lower bound of integrated sensing and communication by utilizing the Cramér-Rao Bound. We find that the sensing power, sensing time, and transmit power between GU-ABS and ABS-MBS mutually influence the bounds of their communication rates with the shared frequency between sensing and communication. Accordingly, the maximizing communication rate problem is established by jointly optimizing transmit power, sensing power, and sensing dwell time allocation, which is decoupled into GU-ABS and ABS-MBS resource allocation subproblems. To reduce the computation complexity, a deep reinforcement learning based algorithm is proposed to solve this problem to replace the successive convex approximation technique. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach is effective in maximizing the communication rate.
