Towards Resilient Access Equality for 6G Serverless p-LEO Satellite Networks (2205.08430v1)

Abstract: Low earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations, integrating government space systems and commercial practices, have emerged as enabling technologies for the sixth generation (6G) networks due to their good merits of global coverage and ubiquitous services for military and civilian use cases. However, convergent LEO-based satellite networking infrastructures still lack leveraging the synergy of space and terrestrial systems. This paper, therefore, extends conventional serverless cloud platforms with serverless edge learning architectures for 6G proliferated LEO (p-LEO) satellite ecosystems and provides a new distributed training design from a networking perspective. The proposed design dynamically orchestrates communications and computation functionalities and resources among heterogeneous physical units to efficiently fulfill multi-agent deep reinforcement learning for service-level agreements. Innovative ecosystem enhancements, including ultrabroadband access, anti-jammed transmissions, resilient networking, and related open challenges, are also investigated for end-to-end connectivity, communications, and learning performance.
