QoE-Aware Efficient Content Distribution Scheme For Satellite-Terrestrial Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The satellite-terrestrial networks (STN) utilize the spacious coverage and low transmission latency of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation to transfer requested content for subscribers especially in remote areas. With the development of storage and computing capacity of satellite onboard equipment, it is considered promising to leverage in-network caching technology on STN to improve content distribution efficiency. However, traditional caching and distribution schemes are not suitable in STN, considering dynamic satellite propagation links and time-varying topology. More specifically, the unevenness of user distribution heightens difficulties for assurance of user quality of experience. To address these problems, we first propose a density-based network division algorithm. The STN is divided into a series of blocks with different sizes to amortize the data delivery costs. To deploy the caching satellites, we analyze the link connectivity and propose an approximate minimum coverage vertex set algorithm. Then, a novel cache node selection algorithm is designed for optimal subscriber matching. On the basis of time-varying network model, the STN cache content updating mechanism is derived to enable a stable and sustainable quality of user experience. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed user-oriented STN content distribution scheme can obviously reduce the average propagation delay and network load under different network conditions and has better stability and self-adaptability under continuous time variation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
