This project aims to reduce the network latency of HTC with a focus on adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) algorithm. Innovative machine learning (ML)/artificial intelligence (AI) approach will be designed to deliver point cloud data by jointly considering network conditions, computing capability, and end users’ experience. The proposed approach will be validated in both simulation and real-world HTC testbed. A use case of an immersive telesurgery will be demonstrated in collaboration with medical and hospital partners in the UK.
