Abstract Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks will play important roles in the sixth generation (6G) communication system. Software defined network technique is a novel approach introduced to the LEO satellite networks to improve the resource flexibility and efficiency, forming the software defined LEO satellite networks (SDLSNs). How to efficiently allocate the resources of SDLSN to provide services for the terrestrial users is a key issue. Hence, in this work, we explore the service provision for SDLSN via virtual network functions (VNFs) orchestration on the software defined time-evolving graph. In view of the scarce, intermittent and unstable satellite-to-satellite (S2S) links, the problem is formulated to minimize the S2S resource consumption while satisfying the terrestrial tasks, which is in the form of integer linear programming. Since the problem is intractable by exhaustive search, we design a branch-and-price algorithm based on the coupling of Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, column generation, and branch-and-bound to efficiently acquire the optimal solution. Further, to obtain a faster solution for practical usage, we further design an approximation algorithm for the subproblem and leverage the beam search to accelerate the pruning for the search tree. Finally, extensive simulations are conducted and the numerical results validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
