Abstract
Efficiently handling huge data amounts and enabling processing-intensive applications to run in faraway areas simultaneously is the ultimate objective of 5G networks. Currently, in order to distribute computing tasks, ongoing studies are exploring the incorporation of fog-cloud servers onto satellites, presenting a promising solution to enhance connectivity in remote areas. Nevertheless, analyzing the copious amounts of data produced by scattered sensors remains a challenging endeavor. The conventional strategy of transmitting this data to a central server for analysis can be costly. In contrast to centralized learning methods, distributed machine learning (ML) provides an alternative approach, albeit with notable drawbacks. This paper addresses the comparative learning expenses of centralized and distributed learning systems to tackle these challenges directly. It proposes the creation of an integrated system that harmoniously merges cloud servers with satellite network structures, leveraging the strengths of each system. This integration could represent a major breakthrough in satellite-based networking technology by streamlining data processing from remote nodes and cutting down on expenses. The core of this approach lies in the adaptive tailoring of learning techniques for individual entities based on their specific contextual nuances. The experimental findings underscore the prowess of the innovative lightweight strategy, LMAED(2)L (Enhanced Deep Learning for Earth Data Analysis), across a spectrum of machine learning assignments, showcasing remarkable and consistent performance under diverse operational conditions. Through a strategic fusion of centralized and distributed learning frameworks, the LMAED2L method emerges as a dynamic and effective remedy for the intricate data analysis challenges encountered within satellite networks interfaced with cloud servers. The empirical findings reveal a significant performance boost of our novel approach over traditional methods, with an average increase in reward (4.1 %), task completion rate (3.9 %), and delivered packets (3.4 %). This report suggests that these advancements will catalyze the integration of cutting-edge machine learning algorithms within future networks, elevating responsiveness, efficiency, and resource utilization to new heights.
