Abstract
Satellite-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) communications, artificial intelligent (AI) empowered wireless communications have been expected as two of the key enablers for 6G visions, since they can help 6G achieve better intelligence, coverage in diverse scenarios besides faster transmission speed than 5G. A straightforward way to enable this vision is moving computation facilities onto the satellites using the edge computing paradigm. At its current state, existing satellite edge computing proposals only describes a rudiment of the satellite design with revealing the service architecture of the edge computing empowered satellite-territorial networks. In this backdrop, this paper presents a service architecture of edge computing empowered satellite-territorial networks, which is a layered structure contains two pools and five layers. To exhibit the benefit of the service architecture, two use cases are presented, in which a satellites-based spectrum sensing use case is detailed, and the numerical test results are given and analyzed. Finally, several open issues in implementing our proposed architecture are outlined.
