“…Although our current model is suitable for GEO satellite systems [52], we recognize the dynamic nature of LEO/MEO systems [53], [54], where the Doppler effect, rapid elevation angle changes, and other factors significantly influence the analysis. In future work we intend to extend our model to address these challenges, recognizing that channel and traffic conditions vary much more rapidly due to the higher relative velocity of LEO/MEO satellites.…”

The latest Satellite Communication (SatCom) missions are characterized by a fully reconfigurable on-board software-defined payload, capable of adapting radio resources to the temporal and spatial variations of the system traffic. As pure optimization-based solutions have shown to be computationally tedious and to lack flexibility, Machine Learning (ML)-based methods have emerged as promising alternatives. We investigate the application of energy-efficient brain-inspired ML models for on-board radio resource management. Apart from software simulation, we report extensive experimental results leveraging the recently released Intel Loihi 2 chip. To benchmark the performance of the proposed model, we implement conventional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on a Xilinx Versal VCK5000, and provide a detailed comparison of accuracy, precision, recall, and energy efficiency for different traffic demands. Most notably, for relevant workloads, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) implemented on Loihi 2 yield higher accuracy, while reducing power consumption by more than 100× as compared to the CNNbased reference platform. Our findings point to the significant potential of neuromorphic computing and SNNs in supporting on-board SatCom operations, paving the way for enhanced efficiency and sustainability in future SatCom systems.
