Multi-UAV-Assisted ISAC System: Joint User Association, Trajectory Design, and Resource Allocation

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems have developed rapidly in the sixth generation (6G) era. However, factors such as the mobility of ground users and malicious jamming pose significant challenges to systems' performance and reliability. Against this backdrop, this paper designs a multi-UAV-assisted ISAC system model under malicious jamming environments. Under the constraint of sensing accuracy, the total communication rate of the system is maximized through joint optimization of user association, UAV trajectory, and transmit power. The problem is then decomposed into three subproblems, which are solved using the improved auction algorithm (IAA), dream optimization algorithm (DOA), and rapidly-exploring random trees-based optimizer algorithm (RRTOA). The global optimal solution is approached through the alternating optimization-based predictive scheduling algorithm (AOPSA). Meanwhile, this paper also introduces a long short-term memory (LSTM) network to predict users' dynamic positions, addressing the impact of user mobility and enhancing the system's real-time performance. Simulation results show that compared with the baseline scheme, the proposed algorithm achieves a 188% improvement in communication rate, which verifies its effectiveness and superiority.

Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems have developed rapidly in the sixth generation (6G) era. However, factors such as the mobility of ground users and malicious jamming pose significant challenges to systems' performance and reliability. Against this backdrop, this paper designs a multi-UAV-assisted ISAC system model under malicious jamming environments. Under the constraint of sensing accuracy, the total communication rate of the system is maximized through joint optimization of user association, UAV trajectory, and transmit power. The problem is then decomposed into three subproblems, which are solved using the improved auction algorithm (IAA), dream optimization algorithm (DOA), and rapidly-exploring random trees-based optimizer algorithm (RRTOA). The global optimal solution is approached through the alternating optimization-based predictive scheduling algorithm (AOPSA). Meanwhile, this paper also introduces a long short-term memory (LSTM) network to predict users' dynamic positions, addressing the impact of user mobility and enhancing the system's real-time performance. Simulation results show that compared with the baseline scheme, the proposed algorithm achieves a 188% improvement in communication rate, which verifies its effectiveness and superiority.
