Prof. Sherman Shen attended IEEE Hong Kong 6G Wireless Summit
Prof. Sherman Shen attended the IEEE Hong Kong 6G Wireless Summit, on September 11-12, 2024, in Hong Kong, China, and gave a speech on "Holistic Network Virtualization: AI-native 6G".
The IEEE Hong Kong 6G Wireless Summit attracts participation from prominent academics, leading industry members and practitioners, and government leaders. It offers attendees from research and industry innovative insights from industry leaders and academic pioneers regarding the latest research on 6G and standards activities from leading wireless research centers around the world. The presentations will only include invited talks and panels and are intended to provide critical information on 6G technological advances to help guide current and future decisions on use and implementation of these technologies.
Our paper received the Best Paper Award from IEEE/CIC ICCC 2024
Our work titled "Transmission Protocol Customization for On-demand Tile-based 360° VR Video Streaming" by Yannan Wei, Qiang Ye, Kaige Qu, Weihua Zhuang, and Xuemin (Sherman) Shen won the Best Paper Award from IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC) 2024.
This paper proposes a customized transmission protocol that accommodates unique characteristics of tile-based 360° VR video streaming and viewing behavior dynamics induced by head movements to achieve a better viewing experience with reduced video downloading time and improved video quality.
IEEE/CIC ICCC is a regional flagship conference being held annually throughout the greater China region under the vision of realistic globalization by extending IEEE ComSoc's reach to the fastest-growing region.
Congratulations to all the authors!
