Futuristic 6G Pervasive On-Demand Services: Integrating Space Edge Computing With Terrestrial Networks

Futuristic 6G technologies will integrate emerging low-Earth orbit (LEO) megaconstellations into terrestrial networks, promising to provide ubiquitous, low-latency and high-throughput network services on-demand. However, several unique characteristics of satellites (e.g., high dynamics and error-prone operational environments) make it very challenging to unleash the potential of megacons-tellations and accomplish these aforementioned promises.
