In this paper, we investigate the issue of satellite-terrestrial computing in the sixth generation (6G) wireless networks, where multiple terrestrial base stations (BSs) and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites collaboratively provide edge computing services to ground user equipments (GUEs) and space user equipments (SUEs) over the world. In particular, we design a complete process of satellite-terrestrial computing in terms of communication and computing according to the characteristics of 6G wireless networks. In order to minimize the weighted total energy consumption while ensuring delay requirements of computing tasks, an energy-efficient satellite-terrestrial computing algorithm is put forward by jointly optimizing offloading selection, beamforming design and resource allocation. Finally, both theoretical analysis and simulation results confirm fast convergence and superior performance of the proposed algorithm for satellite-terrestrial computing in 6G wireless networks.
