Multi-Path Cooperative Communications Networks for Augmented and Virtual Reality Transmission

摘要

Augmented and/or virtual reality (AR/VR) are emerging as one of the mainapplications in future fifth generation (5G) networks. To meet the requirementsof lower latency and massive data transmission in AR/VR applications, asolution with software-defined networking (SDN) architecture is proposed for 5Gsmall cell networks. On this basis, a multi-path cooperative route (MCR) schemeis proposed to facilitate the AR/VR wireless transmissions in 5G small cellnetworks, in which the delay of MCR scheme is analytically studied.Furthermore, a service effective energy optimal (SEEO) algorithm is developedfor AR/VR wireless transmission in 5G small cell networks. Simulation resultsindicate that both the delay and service effective energy (SEE) of the proposedMCR scheme outperform the delay and SEE of the conventional single path routescheme in 5G small cell networks.
