ISAC-based UAV-Assisted Wireless Network: A Resource Allocation Problem

Abstract

In this paper, we highlight the problem of resource allocation in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) based unmannedaerial vehicles (UAVs)-assisted networks. In a highly dynamic scenario consisting of users with varying degrees of mobility, theproblem of resource allocation for sensing and communication becomes complicated by the strong co-channel interference andthe LoS/NLoS probabilities. Hence, it is imperative to optimize the UAVs’ placement in the network and the update interval forcommunication and sensing (resource allocation) in the network. We highlight the problem and show by means of simulation, theneed for a distributed approach of UAV placement and updated interval optimization in such networks.
