Quantum Scheduling for Millimeter-Wave Observation Satellite Constellation

2 Aug 2021  ·  Joongheon Kim, Yunseok Kwak, Soyi Jung, Jae-Hyun Kim ·

In beyond 5G and 6G network scenarios, the use of satellites has been actively discussed for extending target monitoring areas, even for extreme circumstances, where the monitoring functionalities can be realized due to the usage of millimeter-wave wireless links. This paper designs an efficient scheduling algorithm which minimizes overlapping monitoring areas among observation satellite constellation. In order to achieve this objective, a quantum optimization based algorithm is used because the overlapping can be mathematically modelled via a max-weight independent set (MWIS) problem which is one of well-known NP-hard problems.
