EdgeVR360: Edge-Assisted Multiuser-Oriented Intelligent 360-degree Video Delivery Scheme over Wireless Networks.

The COVID-19 situation has determined many people all over the world to experience remote work, study and play although most of them were not prepared for such a change in their lifestyle. With the coming of the high demand of virtual interaction, 360-degree Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and applications have established stronger relationships with your peers and friends if it applies. However, higher quality of VR streaming brings users deeper immersive experience which requires greater network bandwidth and latency, and more powerful computation capability for individuals. To address these issues, the proposed intelligent video delivery scheme in this paper takes advantage of the edge-assisted computational power to improve the multi-user oriented watching experience of high quality 360-degree video over wireless networks, which reduces network resource utilization, and also optimizes edge cache hit ratio and user's Field of View (FoV) quality.
