Dynamic Task and Resource Scheduling Towards Green Space-Air-Ground-Sea Integrated Network
It addresses the problem of efficient task scheduling in multi-layer SAGSIN for resource-limited ocean environments, offering a practical solution for 6G ubiquitous connectivity.
This paper proposes a dynamic task and resource scheduling approach for green space-air-ground-sea integrated networks (SAGSIN) to minimize overall task execution delay for vessels. The method achieves at least a 23% reduction in average task delay compared to benchmarks.
In the context of 6G ubiquitous connectivity, the space-air-ground-sea integrated network (SAGSIN) emerges as a new paradigm to provide critical services for resource-limited ocean environments. To realize this paradigm efficiently, we propose an innovative dynamic task and resource scheduling approach for green SAGSIN that delivers computing support for vessels while minimizing overall task execution delay. To address the challenge of multi-layer task scheduling, a layer-wise task offloading algorithm is developed specifically for SAGSIN. It adapts to real-time, multi-dimensional system dynamics and integrates an anticipatory handover strategy that adaptively controls the amount of data offloaded to the satellite, thereby preventing post-handover congestion while improving satellite resource utilization. Furthermore, the bandwidth allocation of uncrewed aerial vehicles and base station, UAV trajectories, and computing resource allocation are jointly optimized to enhance connectivity among low-altitude devices and facilitate demand-driven resource allocation for green network development. Simulation results verify that the proposed method better adapts to dynamic system resources and achieves at least a 23% reduction in average task delay compared with benchmarks.
