In recent years, satellite networks have been proposed as an essential part of next-
generation mobile communication systems. Software defined networking techniques are …

6G networks are envisioned to deliver a large diversity of applications and meet stringent
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Hence, integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial …

Software-defined networking (SDN) logically separates the control and data planes, thus
opening the way to more flexible configurations and management of low-Earth orbit (LEO) …

Integrating the User Plane Function (UPF), which is responsible for forwarding user data in
5G, with the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks can facilitate communication among …

Nowadays a novel satellite communication solution has to be introduced for the coming
satellite networks. Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Software Defined Radio (SDR) …

Aiming at the controller placement in software‐defined satellite‐terrestrial network, a
distributed and multilayer hierarchical controller placement mechanism is proposed to …

In this paper, we address the virtual network embedding (VNE) problem for both the delay
sensitive and tolerant services in SDN-enabled satellite-terrestrial networks to maximize the …

With the rapid development of very high-speed inter-satellite links, effective and intelligent
routing strategy has become a hot topic in the next generation (6G) mega-constellations …

LEO satellite networks are becoming research hot and the utilization of software defined
network (SDN) technology brings benefits in flexible network control. Controller placement is …

Different from the traditional edge computing network architecture, LEO satellite
constellations are resource-constrained and highly dynamic, making it difficult for traditional …
