Edge Computing in Low-Earth Orbit -- What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Year: 2023

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Large low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks are being built to provide low-latency broadband Internet access to a global subscriber base. In addition to network transmissions, researchers have proposed embedding compute resources in satellites to support LEO edge computing. To make software systems ready for the LEO edge, they need to be adapted for its unique execution environment, e.g., to support handovers in face of satellite mobility.
