Safeguarding UAV Networks Through Integrated Sensing, Jamming, and Communications
This paper proposes an integrated sensing, jamming, and communications (ISJC) framework for securing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled wireless networks. The proposed framework advocates the dual use of artificial noise transmitted by an information UAV for simultaneous jamming and sensing of an eavesdropping UAV. Based on the information sensed in the previous time slot, an optimization problem for online resource allocation design is formulated to maximize the number of securely served users in the current time slot, while taking into account a tracking performance constraint and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements regarding the leakage information rate to the eavesdropper and the downlink data rate to the legitimate users. A channel correlation-based algorithm is proposed to obtain a suboptimal solution for the design problem. Simulation results demonstrate the security benefits of integrating sensing into UAV communication systems.
