DRL-Based Secure Transmission for Rotatable Antenna-Enabled Low-Altitude ISAC Systems

The development of the low-altitude economy has driven innovation in intelligent antenna systems within ISAC systems. In this paper, we investigate a Rotatable Antenna (RA)-enabled low-altitude integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system. In practical terms, the RA array can flexibly adjust the three-dimensional (3D) beam direction of each antenna to enhance array directional gain, thereby improving the communication security of legitimate mobile users against potential eavesdropping risks from the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Our objective is to maximize the minimum secrecy rate (SR) by jointly optimizing transmit beamforming matrix, transmit and receive RAs' pointing matrices. To this end, an multi-agent proximal policy optimization with three improvement mechanisms (MAPPO-T) algorithm is proposed to cope with the issue of complex multi-agent collaborative decision-making problem. Simulation results show that the introduction of RAs can effectively improve SR performance compared to the traditional fixed orientation antenna (FOA)-based system. In addition, the proposed MAPPO-T algorithm validate the superiority compared to the standard MAPPO algorithm.
