Secrecy Enhancement for UAV-enabled Integrated Sensing and Communication System

In this correspondence, we propose an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where a full-duplex UAV equipped with uniform planar array (UPA) is adopted as a base station for the multiuser downlink communications, while sensing and jamming a passive ground eavesdropper. The goal of this work is to maximize the sum secrecy rate of ground users subject to the constraints of sensing accuracy and UAV's operational capability by jointly optimizing the transceiver beamforming and UAV's trajectory. To this end, we develop the algorithmic solution based on block coordinate descent (BCD) and semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation techniques, whose performance is verified via simulations indicating its efficacy in improving communication security with the sufficient mission period.
