Abstract

The collaborative Satellite-Terrestrial network plays an important role in the future 6G mobile communication network, which can realize the global ubiquitous connection and support everyone-centric customized services. Taking into account the multi-layer heterogeneity of the Satellite-Terrestrial network, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technology can provide users with support for various data business computing services. Most of the existing satellite edge computing regards satellites as relay networks and neglects the deployment of MEC servers on satellites. We first propose a collaborative Satellite-Terrestrial edge computing network that deploys edge servers on LEO satellites. Then, we introduce the collaborative Satellite-Terrestrial network architecture and design a central-edge multi-agent collaboration model. Furthermore, it integrates SDN and NFV to achieve optimal control for the collaborative network. Finally, extensive simulations show that the proposed strategy that jointly tasks offloading and resource allocation can achieve higher performance with low complexity.
