| contents | In this paper, we investigate joint 3-dimensional (3D) trajectory planning and resource allocation for rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensing. To support emerging real-time SAR applications and enable live mission control, we incorporate real-time communication with a ground station (GS). The UAV's main mission is the mapping of large areas of interest (AoIs) using an onboard SAR system and transferring the unprocessed raw radar data to the ground in real time. We propose a robust trajectory and resource allocation design that takes into account random UAV trajectory deviations. To this end, we model the UAV trajectory deviations and study their effect on the radar coverage. Then, we formulate a robust non-convex mixed-integer non-linear program (MINLP) such that the UAV 3D trajectory and resources are jointly optimized for maximization of the radar ground coverage. A low-complexity sub-optimal solution for the formulated problem is presented. Furthermore, to assess the performance of the sub-optimal algorithm, we derive an upper bound on the optimal solution based on monotonic optimization theory. Simulation results show that the proposed sub-optimal algorithm achieves close-to-optimal performance and not only outperforms several benchmark schemes but is also robust with respect to UAV trajectory deviations. |
