Wireless Virtual Reality in Beyond 5G Systems with the Internet of Intelligence

Virtual reality (VR) over wireless has promising applications in healthcare, education, entertainment, and industrial production. However, it is difficult for the existing wireless systems to meet the needs of massive content transmission, ultra-low latency, and high computation in wireless VR. In this article, with the recent advances of edge intelligence and the Internet of Intelligence, we propose a novel framework that can jointly provide computation, storage, and communication resources for wireless VR in beyond 5G systems. In this framework, intelligence can be fully exploited to coordinate the computing, caching, and transmission systems to enable ubiquitous deployments of wireless VR. We present some key techniques and propose specific methods to support wireless VR. In addition, we propose a novel quantum-inspired RL reinforcement learning (QRL) algorithm for the multidimensional resource provisioning issue in wireless VR. In the simulations, some essential performance metrics are evaluated and some interesting results are presented, showing the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
