Recently, ultra-dense low earth orbit (LEO) satelliteconstellation over high-frequency bands has considered as one ofpromising solutions to supply coverage all over the world. Givensatellite constellations, efficient beam coverage schemes should beemployed at satellites to provide seamless services and full-viewcoverage. In LEO systems, hybrid wide and spot beam coverageschemes are generally used, where the LEO provides a widebeam for large area coverage and additional several steering spotbeams for high speed data access. In this given setting, schedulingmultiple spot beams is essentially required. In order to achievethis goal, Vickery-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction-based trustfulalgorithm is proposed in this paper for scheduling multiple spotbeams for more efficient seamless services and full-view coverage.
