Abstract

Integrated satellite-terrestrial networks (ISTNs) provide a novel networking paradigm for achieving all-time seamless and global coverage and have attracted considerable research attention lately. The sixth-generation (6G) communication networks will also expect ISTNs to support countless emerging missions with different requirements. To this end, in the dynamic and complex ISTN environment, intelligent and efficient multi-dimensional resource management strategies (e.g., transmission and computation resources) are critical in limitedresource situations. A matching game, which is a suitable tool to model the cooperation and strategic interaction of missions and resources, provides a potential solution to address these challenges. In this article, we first discuss the requirements and challenges of multi-dimensional resource management problems in ISTNs. Next, we introduce the definition, classifications, and applications of the matching game. Based on the matching game, we propose an intelligent mission-resource two-side matching (MRTM) framework, and present a MRTM-based multidimensional resource management strategy. Finally, we provide a use case to illustrate how to apply the MRTM framework. The simulation results are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. IEEE
