The sixth-generation (6G) network will shift its focus to supporting everything including various machine-type devices (MTDs) in an everyone-centric manner. To ubiquitously cover the MTDs working in rural and disastrous areas, satellite communications become indispensable, while mobile edge computing (MEC) also plays an increasingly crucial role. T...

... are under stringent restrictions in terms of size, weight, and power. Moreover, because of the severe electromagnetic radiation in space, the satellite servers need to be radiation-hardened [8]. This requires special design and incurs extra costs. These factors account for the limited computing capability in integrated satellite-MEC networks. Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the overall latency of a single offloading task, varying with the communication and computing resources provided. The resources are normalized, and the latency is obtained by linearly combining the reverse of both resources 1 . We observe that the latency decreases quite slowly with both resources in the ...
