Heterogeneous Space Data Centers: A Key Paradigm for Future Non-Terrestrial and In-Orbit Services

The paper introduces heterogeneous space data centers (SDCs) that combine large and small nodes to deliver AI‑centric computing and communication services for ground, aerial, and in‑orbit users. It outlines use cases, node sizing, placement strategies, and interconnection topologies, and focuses on dawn‑dusk low‑Earth orbit configurations to analyze solar power, visibility windows, and latency‑aware coverage. The authors evaluate latency, service reliability, and energy requirements for various SDC roles and deployment scales, highlighting trade‑offs among node size, orbit selection, and service portfolio, and offer design guidance and future research directions for AI infrastructure in space.

LEO Satellite Internet of Things: Architecture, Technology, and On-Orbit Verification

The article proposes a comprehensive two‑dimensional system architecture for 6G LEO satellite Internet of Things, integrating LEO satellites with terrestrial networks. It evaluates three key enabling technologies: massive grant‑free random access for uplink, deep learning‑based multibeam precoding for downlink, and distributed cooperative routing for inter‑satellite links. An on‑orbit verification platform is introduced to validate the real‑world feasibility and performance of these solutions, and the paper concludes with open challenges and future research directions.

RAMA: Retrieval-Augmented Multi-Agent Routing with Episodic Memory for LEO Satellite Networks

RAMA is a retrieval‑augmented multi‑agent deep reinforcement learning framework for routing in Low‑Earth Orbit satellite networks. It combines each satellite’s local observation, recent routing history, neighboring state information, and retrieved entries from a per‑satellite episodic memory, integrating them via a Transformer‑based decision network trained with Approximate Information State objectives. In a 140‑satellite Kepler constellation, RAMA cuts mean end‑to‑end latency by 13.4% and 99th‑percentile latency by 66.7% compared to a state‑of‑the‑art DDQN, and on a 1,584‑satellite Starlink shell 1 it achieves a 93.2% mean latency reduction, with further gains from online updates.
