With the evolution and development of various space-based services such as integration of sensing and communication
intelligent applications
and diverse services
satellite networks are showing a trend of cloud-network convergence. Satellite networks have put forward higher requirements for heterogeneous hardware virtualization and diversified computing power services. This article proposes a satellite ground collaborative edge cloud architecture that supports wide area intelligent collaboration.It can improve the capability of cloud side collaborative data processing and instant service under the spatio-temporal continuous service scenario of satellite network
achieve efficient utilization of satellite ground resources and "cloud convergence and cloud dispersion"
and provide strong support for building high-speed intelligent computing
flexible deployment and decentralized independent decision-making capabilities of satellite network.
