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!
