Abstract

Most Virtual Reality (VR) headsets come with cable connections to their computing units. This is inconvenient for deployment in immersive interactive environments. A wireless VR solution is a promising approach for improving the user experience. The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides high bandwidth and low latency, which enhances VR wireless solution for supporting high definition and low latency applications. In this paper, we propose a VR wireless solution based on MEC to meet the requirement of future VR applications with high resolution display and low latency. Compared to existing wireless VR solutions, our solution is superior in improving the video quality and enhancing the quality of the user's experience.
