Abstract

In this paper, we present an integrated sensing, communication, and computing (ISCC) framework tailored for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, aimed at preprocessing radar-sensed data before offloading it to the base station (BS) for computation. To enhance full-space coverage capabilities, we use the simultaneously transmitting and reflecting surface reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RIS) technology, which empowers the ISCC network by enabling dynamic control over signal transmission and reflection. The proposed framework achieves optimal weighted sum-rate performance while satisfying fundamental sensing requirements through joint optimization of ISCC beamforming, subcarrier allocation, and STAR-RIS-based transmission and reflection beamforming. The Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm is implemented and evaluated against baseline schemes, demonstrating improved performance.
