面向空间信息网络的融合可重构智能表面和移动边缘计算
Converged Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface and Mobile Edge Computing for Space Information Networks
摘要：
空间信息网络（SIN）面临着地面、空中和空间通信一体化的发展，对高速、大容量、无缝数据传输的需求日益增长。然而，这对集成SIN的体系结构设计提出了新的范式。最近，可重构智能表面（RISs）和移动边缘计算（MEC）是最有前途的技术，旨在通过重新配置无线传播环境和卸载来提高通信和计算能力。因此，在SIN中融合RISs和MEC正在成为一种努力，以获得计算和通信的双重好处。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个RIS辅助协作MEC的SIN架构，并讨论其实现。然后，我们提出了它的潜在好处，主要挑战和可行的应用。随后，我们研究不同的情况下，以评估系统的数据率和延迟。最后，我们总结了在这一研究领域的开放问题的列表。
英文摘要：
Space information networks (SIN) are facing an ever-increasing thirst for high-speed and high-capacity seamless data transmission due to the integration of ground, air, and space communications. However, this imposes a new paradigm on the architecture design of the integrated SIN. Recently, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) and mobile edge computing (MEC) are the most promising techniques, conceived to improve communication and computation capability by reconfiguring the wireless propagation environment and offloading. Hence, converging RISs and MEC in SIN is becoming an effort to reap the double benefits of computation and communication. In this article, we propose an RIS-assisted collaborative MEC architecture for SIN and discuss its implementation. Then we present its potential benefits, major challenges, and feasible applications. Subsequently, we study different cases to evaluate the system data rate and latency. Finally, we conclude with a list of open issues in this research area.
