RHOSI: Efficient Anti-Jamming Resource Allocation with Holographic Surfaces in UAV-enabled ISAC

This paper investigates the susceptibility of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) systems to hostile jamming, focusing on an aerial Reconfigurable Holographic Surface (RHS)-aided unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed framework, termed RHOSI, enhances ISAC's resilience by dynamically shaping the wireless propagation environment. Specifically, RHOSI introduces a strategy to improve jamming resistance by jointly optimizing transmit beamforming at the hybrid base station, RHS phase shift configuration, and UAV spatial deployment, while ensuring the required echo signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios for reliable sensing. The resulting non-linear optimization problem features highly coupled variables, which are decomposed into sub-problems and solved using an alternating optimization (AO) approach. Simulation results confirm the practicality and effectiveness of RHOSI in significantly improving the throughput and robustness of ISAC under adversarial jamming.
