Predator–Prey Model Based Asymmetry Resource Allocation in Satellite–Terrestrial Network

In the traditional satellite networks, network resources are mainly allocated among all the satellites based on the same allocation algorithm.

description In the traditional satellite networks, network resources are mainly allocated among all the satellites based on the same allocation algorithm. This kind of symmetry model limits the increase of throughput. In this paper, we study an asymmetry resource allocation method in a satellite–terrestrial network and propose a Lotka–Volterra based predator–prey model to achieve optimal resource allocation among different satellites. In the proposed satellite–terrestrial network, we divide all the satellites into two groups, and we try to achieve load stability between these two satellites groups. Using the predator–prey model, one group is the prey–satellites, which can obtain service requirements from mobile users. The other group is considered as predator–satellites, which can only obtain the loads from the group of the prey–satellites. Once the satellites are divided into two groups using the Lotka–Volterra model, the resource allocation problem among these satellites in two groups would be asymmetry resource. We prove the existence of solutions to the proposed model. Numerical simulation results are given to show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed model.
