Abstract

To address the challenges of multi-service congestion and load imbalance in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) networks, stemming from highly dynamic spatio-temporal characteristics and constrained link capacities, this paper proposes a joint optimization method for routing and load balancing based on Graph Neural Networks (GNN) and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). The proposed method constructs a heterogeneous graph model to provide a unified representation of the complex dependencies between service requirements and physical topology, while modeling multi-service scheduling as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Building upon this, a dual-head Actor-Critic architecture based on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is designed to facilitate end-to-end policy learning. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared to traditional algorithms, the proposed method significantly enhances service success rates and reduces link load variance across varying traffic intensities, effectively achieving efficient utilization and balanced allocation of network resources.
