LVSUM-Optimized Live 360 Degree Video Streaming in Unicast and Multicast Over Mobile Networks

By allowing users to adjust their field of view (FoV) in real-time, live 360° video streaming provides an immersive experience. Recent research focuses on bitrate adaptation under limited resources for 360° video streaming with temporal and spatial viewport adaptation. In this study, we focus on proposing an estimate of Live 360 Degree Video Streaming in Unicast and Multicast over Mobile Networks that optimizes bandwidth allocation to user groups to enhance their experience while taking advantage of the inherent diversity in network conditions and users' field 0 fv iew (FoV). T he proposed method - L VSUM-is proven to improve FoV bitrates from 10.05% to 23.04% in comparison with the recently referenced approaches.
