“…Providing real-time and immersive experiences to all four users simultaneously is challenging, thereby invoking the elements of GN. Academic literature and commercial products offer various architectural solutions to aid virtual applications with distributed clients [4]. These solutions can be classified into three categories: Centralized, Distributed (P2P), or Hybrid, depending on the location of the state storage.…”

The sixth generation (6G) of wireless technology is seen as one of the enablers of real-time fusion of the physical and digital realms, as in the Metaverse, extended reality (XR), or Digital Twin (DT). This would allow people to interact, work, and entertain themselves in immersive online 3D virtual environments. From the viewpoint of communication and networking, this will represent an evolution of the game networking technology, designed to interconnect massive users in real-time online gaming environments. This article presents the basic principles of game networking and discusses their evolution towards meeting the requirements of the Metaverse and similar applications. Several open research challenges are provided, along with possible solutions.

Is Wi-Fi 6 ready for virtual reality (VR) mayhem? The common use case for untethered VR is running a video game on a powerful desktop and streaming the generated content to a head-mounted display (HMD) over Wi-Fi. In this work, we investigated a challenging use case using one Wi-Fi 6 access point (AP) and three HMDs. Specifically, we evaluated experimentally the performance of VR streaming in terms of latency using: i) the distributed coordination function (DCF), ii) orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) in the downlink (DL) and the uplink (UL) and iii) multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO). We showed that VR streaming to three users, up to 100 Mbps each, works flawlessly using either DCF or DL OFDMA, with latency in the order of 50 ms. In addition, our study unveiled the disruption of tracking data transmissions in the uplink using UL OFDMA, which had a negative impact on latency by delaying game rendering.

From children to adults, everyone enjoys playing online games as a form of entertainment. Online games have a more popular market because they can meet other players worldwide connected to the internet. NPCs (players controlled by a computer system) are also available in online games as player substitutes or for skill practice. As a result, we have been interacting with artificial intelligence in the competition and our environment without realizing it. The game's AI (Artificial Intelligent) can offer an experience similar to playing with other players. Artificial intelligence may always influence online games, whether to replace opponents or choose the game's plot. First Person Shooter (FPS) game Valorant was made available for free on the Windows platform by Riot Games. With a CS: GO-like concept (Counter Strike Global Offensive). The amount of money you have available for each round must be calculated at the equipment purchasing phase to produce effective gaming equipment. The Greedy Algorithm is one of the algorithms that can be used to choose the equipment for the money/cred owned. This algorithm will select the most expensive item the player can buy each round so that the player's chances of winning that round increase.
