Abstract:

To address the dependence of traditional integrated sensing and communication network mode on ground infrastructure, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with edge computing server and radar transceiver was proposed to solve the problems of high-power consumption, signal blocking, and coverage blind spots in complex scenarios.Firstly, under the conditions of satisfying the user’s transmission power, radar estimation information rate and task offloading proportion limit, the system energy consumption was minimized by jointly optimizing UAV radar beamforming, computing resource allocation, task offloading, user transmission power, and UAV flight trajectory.Secondly, the non-convex optimization problem was reformulated as a Markov decision process, and the proximal policy optimization method based deep reinforcement learning was used to achieve the optimal solution.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a faster training speed and can reduce the system energy consumption effectively while satisfying the sensing and computing delay requirements.

Key words: integrated sensing-communication-computation network, UAV, deep reinforcement learning, resource allocation and optimization
