With the rapid development of 6G communication technology
integrated sensing
computing
and communication (ISCC) has become a key driving force in the evolution of space-air-ground integrated network. Starting from the core concept of ISCC
its critical role in space-air-ground integrated network was discussed
and a multi-level management and orchestration network architecture empowered by ISCC was proposed. Key technologies of this architecture were analyzed. Finally
the current challenges faced in this field were summarized
and future development trends were prospected
aiming to provide valuable reference and insights for the construction of space-air-ground integrated network in the 6G era.
