“…Overall, 23 pieces of literature were selected to identify issues and challenges related to networking that currently affect cloud gaming. The identified issues and challenges are quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) [17]- [21], latency [20], [22]- [30], bandwidth [20], [24], [26], [27], [31]- [33], delay [17], [23], [27], [31], [34]- [39], packet loss [17], [19], [22], [30], the cost of providing the service [31]- [33], complexity (video encoding, compression, and game content) [20], [34], [36], [38], and graphics quality [23], [34]- [36]. Figure 2 presents these issues and challenges along with the number of corresponding literature mainly cited to discuss them.…”

“…However, the latency may depend on the type of game genre. For example, Jaya et al [26] discussed that in a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) such as Diablo, a 100ms latency could be tolerable.…”

“…Moreover, if there is a high number of users, the cloud server may not have the ability to supply sufficient downstream bandwidth [31]. Therefore, when playing a cloud-based game, users must experience high responsiveness even with limited bandwidth capacity [26]. For this, Slivar et al [27] suggested that there is a need for the game server to be able to dynamically satisfy varying bandwidth availability.…”

With the increasing prevalence of video games comes innovations that aim to evolve them. Cloud gaming is poised as the next phase of gaming. It enables users to play video games on any internet-enabled device. Such improvement could, therefore, enhance the processing power of existing devices and solve the need to spend large amounts of money on the latest gaming equipment. However, others argue that it may be far from being practically functional. Since cloud gaming places dependency on networks, new issues emerge. In relation, this paper is a review of the networking perspective of cloud gaming. Specifically, the paper analyzes its issues and challenges along with possible solutions. In order to accomplish the study, a literature review was performed. Results show that there are numerous issues and challenges regarding cloud gaming networks. Generally, cloud gaming has problems with its network quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). The poor QoS and QoE of cloud gaming can be linked to unsatisfactory latency, bandwidth, delay, packet loss, and graphics quality. Moreover, the cost of providing the service and the complexity of implementing cloud gaming were considered challenges. For these issues and challenges, solutions were found. The solutions include lag or latency compensation, compression with encoding techniques, client computing power, edge computing, machine learning, frame adaption, and GPU-based server selection. However, these have limitations and may not always be applicable. Thus, even if solutions exist, it would be beneficial to analyze the networking side of cloud gaming further.

“…• We proposed and evaluated our online heuristic algorithm to solve the resource allocation problem. Our system architecture presented in this chapter is a further improvement of system architectures from the existing works on cloud gaming [3,50,51] in order to reduce cost on the cloud gaming service provider while increasing high playerbase coverage. As illustrated in Figure 5.1, a player can connect to either an edge-cloud RS pair or directly to a cloud RS.…”
