Learning-Based Predictive Beamforming for Secure ISAC via IRS

Although integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) has an advantage of mutual gain of its dual functions, it is susceptible to be eavesdropped by mobile targets due to the broadcast nature of wireless channels. In this paper, we propose a secure predictive beamforming scheme against a mobile eavesdropping target for ISAC, where the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is utilized to assist the sensing and secure transmission. To tackle the mobility of eavesdropping target, we first develop a secure predictive beamforming protocol and formulate a sum secrecy rate maximization problem. However, due to the non-convex objective function and the outdated channel state information (CSI), it is difficult to solve the problem directly. Thus, we develop a deep learning based predictive beamforming scheme, which incorporates the parallel convolutional neural network, the long short-term memory modules and the attention mechanism to learn the features from the historical CSI. It can directly design the beamformings for the next time slot with low computational complexity and bypass the need of CSI prediction. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can significantly enhance the security of ISAC with low overhead.
