Efficient Resource Allocation Algorithms in Satellite Edge Computing: A Survey

To achieve higher throughput, the concept of edge computing on mobile devices has emerged. Subsequently, the idea of MEC was enhanced to satellite edge computing (SEC) to provide broader coverage in remote areas. To address energy and resource issues in SEC, this paper discusses the research trends in algorithms for more efficient resource allocation within SEC systems. Two resource allocation methods are introduced: the DRL-based DQN algorithm and the greedy strategy-based OEC-TA algorithm. The proposed algorithms are validated to significantly improve system performance and resource efficiency by allocating resources more effectively.
