Abstract

In large-scale, time-sensitive networking applications for spacecraft, the Time-Aware Scheduling (TAS) scheduling often faces challenges such as relatively low solving scale and slow speed. This paper proposes a DM-KM traffic grouping algorithm based on a distance matrix and K-means clustering, and integrated with it, designs an incremental TAS scheduling method. First, a traffic network model is constructed, using a weighted comprehensive distance matrix based on the entropy weight method to represent the correlations between traffic flows. Then, an incremental scheduling algorithm combined with DM-KM traffic grouping is designed and implemented. The proposed grouping method achieves high intra-group similarity and low inter-group similarity, which effectively improves the solving speed of the incremental scheduling. Experimental results show that compared with the existing DoC-KM and CILP-KM grouping algorithms, the DM-KM algorithm achieves better schedulability while maintaining a high solving speed in a 1000-traffic scheduling scenario. Compared with other scheduling algorithms, the solving scale can be improved by up to 32.36%, providing a grouping and incremental scheduling solution for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) in large-scale spacecraft networks.
