  In beyond 5G and 6G network scenarios, the use of satellites has been
actively discussed for extending target monitoring areas, even for extreme
circumstances, where the monitoring functionalities can be realized due to the
usage of millimeter-wave wireless links. This paper designs an efficient
scheduling algorithm which minimizes overlapping monitoring areas among
observation satellite constellation. In order to achieve this objective, a
quantum optimization based algorithm is used because the overlapping can be
mathematically modelled via a max-weight independent set (MWIS) problem which
is one of well-known NP-hard problems.
