Abstract
Fog radio access networks (F-RANs), in which the fog access points are equipped with communication, caching, and computing functionalities, have been anticipated as a promising architecture for enabling virtual reality (VR) applications in wireless networks. Although extensive research efforts have been devoted to designing efficient strategies for realizing successful mobile VR delivery in downlink, the equally important problem of mobile VR delivery in uplink has so far drawn little attention. In this work, we investigate a mobile VR F-RAN delivery framework, where both the uplink and downlink transmissions are considered. We first characterize the of the system, which reveals its dependence on the communication, caching, and computation s. Based on this information, we propose a simple yet efficient algorithm to minimize the , while satisfying the practical constraints on caching, computation capability, and transmission capacity in the uplink and downlink. Numerical results show that our proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the compared with various baselines, and the impacts of communication, caching, and computing resources on latency performance are illustrated.
