In general, SAGIN aims to amalgamate terrestrial nodes, aerial platforms, and satellites to enhance global coverage and ensure seamless connectivity. Moreover, beyond mere communication functionality, computing capability is increasingly recognized as a critical attribute of sixth generation (6G) networks. To address this, integrated communication and computing have recently been advocated as a viable approach. Additionally, to overcome the technical challenges of complicated systems such as high mobility, unbalanced traffics, limited resources, and various demands in communication and computing among different network segments, various solutions have been introduced recently. Consequently, this paper offers a comprehensive survey of the technological advances in communication and computing within SAGIN for 6G, including system architecture, network characteristics, general communication, and computing technologies. Subsequently, we summarize the pivotal technologies of SAGIN-enabled 6G, including the physical layer, medium access control (MAC) layer, and network layer. Finally, we explore the technical challenges and future trends in this field.","PeriodicalId":73294,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in communications : a publication of the IEEE Communications Society","volume":"42 12","pages":"3327-3354"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142594853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chambers;Wei Huang","doi":"10.1109/JSAC.2024.3459086","DOIUrl":"10.1109/JSAC.2024.3459086","url":null,"abstract":"The space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) has become a crucial research direction in future wireless communications due to its ubiquitous coverage, rapid and flexible deployment, and multi-layer cooperation capabilities. However, integrating hierarchical federated learning (HFL) with edge computing and SAGINs remains a complex open issue to be resolved. This paper proposes a novel framework for applying HFL in SAGINs, utilizing aerial platforms and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites as edge servers and cloud servers, respectively, to provide multi-layer aggregation capabilities for HFL. The proposed system also considers the presence of inter-satellite links (ISLs), enabling satellites to exchange federated learning models with each other. Furthermore, we consider multiple different computational tasks that need to be completed within a limited satellite service time. To maximize the convergence performance of all tasks while ensuring fairness, we propose the use of the distributional soft-actor-critic (DSAC) algorithm to optimize resource allocation in the SAGIN and aggregation weights in HFL. Moreover, we address the efficiency issue of hybrid action spaces in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) through a decoupling and recoupling approach, and design a new dynamic adjusting reward function to ensure fairness among multiple tasks in federated learning. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed algorithm, consistently outperforming baseline approaches and offering a promising solution for addressing highly complex optimization problems in SAGINs.","PeriodicalId":73294,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in communications : a publication of the IEEE Communications Society","volume":"42 12","pages":"3618-3631"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
