The growth of the constellation of low-orbit satellites makes it possible to deploy edge computing services in satellite networks. This is, however, challenging due to the topological dynamics and limited resources of satellite networks. To improve the performance of edge computing in a satellite network, we propose a satellite network task deployment method based on SDN (software-defined network) and ICN (information-centric network). In this method, based on the full analysis of satellite network resources, a mission deployment model of a low-orbit satellite network is established. The genetic algorithm is then used to solve the proposed method. Experiments confirm that this method can effectively reduce the response delay of the tasks and the network traffic caused by task processing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22145439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,21]],"date-time":"2022-07-21T22:38:50Z","timestamp":1658443130000},"page":"5439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Satellite Network Task Deployment Method Based on SDN and ICN"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0280-5040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhiguo","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Communication and Network Laboratory, Dalian University, Dalian 116622, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqi","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Communication and Network Laboratory, Dalian University, Dalian 116622, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Dalian University, Dalian 116622, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianxin","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Communication and Network Laboratory, Dalian University, Dalian 116622, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chengsheng","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Communication and Network Laboratory, Dalian University, Dalian 116622, China"},{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing 211800, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6731-0386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunqi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Communication and Network Laboratory, Dalian University, Dalian 116622, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18391","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2017.2735988","article-title":"Leo satellite constellation for internet of things","volume":"5","author":"Qu","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"806","DOI":"10.1109\/TGCN.2019.2909140","article-title":"Green data-collection from geo-distributed IoT networks through low-earth-orbit satellites","volume":"3","author":"Huang","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
