What is it about?
As a critical supplementary to terrestrial communication networks, low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite based communication networks have been gaining growing attention in recent years. In this paper, we focus on data collection from geo-distributed Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks via LEO satellites. Normally, the power supply in IoT data-gathering gateways is a bottleneck resource that constrains the overall amount of data upload. Thus, the challenge is how to collect the data from IoT gateways through LEO satellites under time-varying uplinks in an energy-efficient way. To address this problem, we first formulate a novel optimization problem, and then propose an online algorithm based on Lyapunov optimization theory to aid green data-upload for geo-distributed IoT networks.

Why is it important?
The proposed approach is to jointly maximize the overall amount of data uploaded and minimize the energy consumption, while maintaining the queue stability even without the knowledge of arrival data at IoT gateways.
