Abstract Integrated satellite-terrestrial network (ISTN) has been considered a novel network architecture to achieve global three-dimensional coverage and ultra-wide area broadband access anytime and anywhere. Being a promising paradigm, cloud computing and mobile edge computing (MEC) have been identified as key technology enablers for ISTN to further improve quality of service and business continuity. However, most of the existing ISTN studies based on cloud computing and MEC regard satellite networks as relay networks, ignoring the feasibility of directly deploying cloud computing nodes and edge computing nodes on satellites. In addition, most computing tasks are transferred to cloud servers or offloaded to… More >
