Abstract:

With the public land mobile communication network transitioning from the 5G era where information flows freely to the 6G era where everything is interconnected, satellite networks have become a hot development topic all around the world.At the same time, with the improvement of satellite on-board computing capabilities and the integration of computing and satellite networks, cloud network integration has become a new development trend.On the basis of a brief introduction to the current development status of satellite networks and satellite computing, the development roadmap of satellite network development architecture was summarized.Then, a satellite network architecture based on cloud-network integration (i.e.satellite cloud network) was proposed, and the advantages of satellite cloud network architecture from five aspects: computing driven communication enhancement, computing driven network enhancement were analyzed, computing driven service enhancement, computing driven control enhancement, and computing driven management enhancement.

Key words: satellite network, satellite computing, network architecture, cloud-network integration
