Cloud Gaming on 5G

Overview

Cloud gaming represents one of the most demanding applications for 5G networks, requiring ultra-low latency and high throughput to deliver seamless gaming experiences.

Note

This project explores how EdgeRIC can optimize network resources for cloud gaming workloads in real-time.

Key Challenges

  • Latency Sensitivity: Cloud gaming requires sub-20ms round-trip times for responsive gameplay

  • Variable Bitrate: Game streams have highly variable bandwidth requirements

  • QoE Metrics: Traditional network metrics don’t capture gaming experience quality

Our Approach

EdgeRIC enables real-time adaptation of scheduling and resource allocation based on:

  • Frame timing and rendering deadlines

  • Player input patterns

  • Network conditions

Results
