Joint Sensing, Computation, and DAI Resource Management for Integrated Non-Terrestrial and Terrestrial Networks

Integrated Non-Terrestrial and Terrestrial Networks (NTN-TN) have been emerging as a promising architecture to facilitate state sensing, computation migration, and privacy protection for terrestrial users, where both low, medium and geostationary orbit satellites collaboratively support various tasks and allocate resources effectively. Nevertheless, an integration of sensing, computation, and artificial intelligence (AI) in dynamic NTN-TNs has certain challenges in achieving high-efficient task offloading and guaranteeing robust privacy protection. To address these issues, we introduce an intelligent NTN-TN framework, focusing on sensing, computation migration, and privacy protection. Furthermore, we develop a versatile and scalable experimental platform for NTN-TNs to validate related network functions. Simulation results show that the proposed framework reduces network latency compared with advanced benchmarks. Finally, we present potential research directions and innovative solutions in future NTN-TNs.
