Recently, ultra-dense low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation over high-frequency bands has considered as one of promising solutions to supply coverage all over the world. Given satellite constellations, efficient beam coverage schemes should be employed at satellites to provide seamless services and full-view coverage. In LEO systems, hybrid wide and spot beam coverage schemes are generally used, where the LEO provides a wide beam for large area coverage and additional several steering spot beams for high speed data access. In this given setting, scheduling multiple spot beams is essentially required. In order to achieve this goal, Vickery-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction-based trustful algorithm is proposed in this paper for scheduling multiple spot beams for more efficient seamless services and full-view coverage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
