Satellite Computing Power Networks: Introduction, Developments, and Future Perspectives
Professor Bomin Mao
Northwestern Polytechnical University, China
About the Talk
The commercial applications of Starlink have inspired worldwide countries and organizations to compete the construction of satellite constellations, especially in the area of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The deployment of Inter-Satellite Links (ISLs) has constructed the satellite networks crossing different orbits and constellations. Researchers have also considered the connections of satellites of different functions to realize the Integrated Communications, Navigation, and remote Sensing (ICNS), which can mutually promote the provided service quality. Another trend is the continuously growing computation capacity of satellite hardware to enable the onboard processing of different kinds of tasks, which can further alleviate the latency and transmission overhead. Satellite Computing Power Networks (SCPNs) can realize the coordination of different satellites to provide enough computation resource. In this talk, we first introduce the basic knowledge of satellite communications. Then, the advantages and development of ICNS and SCPNs are explained. Finally, the challenges and future directions connecting AI and LLM will be discussed.
