Abstract:
In the realm of 6G wireless networks, virtual reality (VR) 360-degree videos stand out as a pivotal application. Researches on the users' quality of experience (QoE) for VR 360-degree videos mainly focus on video coding and transmission schemes, with a limited investigation into the impacts of wireless channels. To fill this gap, this paper emulates VR 360-degree video transmission on three kinds of wireless channels: additive Gaussian white noise (AWGN), Rayleigh fading, and Rician fading channels. The performance metrics for the wireless physical layer including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), end-to-end delay, and bit error rate are investigated for their impacts on the performance metrics of video transmission, including video bitrate, stalling time, and start-up delay. Finally, a comprehensive QoE score is derived based on measured application-layer quality. Furthermore, we fit the functions: i) a log-scaling law of QoE vs. bandwidth, and ii) a Sigmoid function-scaling law for QoE vs. SNR. The results shed light on guiding physical layer network optimization aimed at improving the subjective QoE of VR videos.
