China Communications, Available online 10 May 20231673-5447https://doi.org/10.23919/JCC.ea.2021-0740.202302https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/19656With the evolution of the sixth generation (6G) mobile communication technology, ample attention has gone to the integrated terrestrial-satellite networks. This paper notes that four typical application scenarios of integrated terrestrial-satellite networks are integrated into ultra dense satellite-enabled 6G networks architecture. Then the subchannel and power allocation schemes for the downlink of the ultra dense satellite-enabled 6G heterogeneous networks are introduced. Satellite mobile edge computing (SMEC) with edge caching in three-layer heterogeneous networks serves to reduce the link traffic of networks. Furthermore, a scheme for interference management is presented, involving quality-of-service (QoS) and co-tier/cross-tier interference constraints. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes can significantly increase the total capacity of ultra dense satellite-enabled 6G heterogeneous networks.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 InternationalArticle
