Discussion on Key Technologies of Cloud Game Based on 5G and Edge Computing
Yan Zhang, Yicheng Zhang · 2020
With the rapid development of technology and business models, cloud computing has been widely used as a mature computing paradigm. Cloud computing provides a layered service system with its powerful computing and storage capabilities, and the emergence of 5G and edge computing has made it possible to provide end users with convenient, multi-platform, access to any time and place. Cloud games are the cloud computing applications that have emerged in recent years and are considered as a "killer". However, due to the current game delay control of cloud gaming has not reached an acceptable level, and based on hardware virtualization and cost considerations, cloud gaming related technologies are still in the exploration stage. Based on the above background, we first introduced the background and foundation of cloud games. Then we analyze the advantages of cloud gaming and the current problems. Additionally, this paper attempts to give solutions to related problems based on 5G and edge computing technology, and at the same time summarizes the research results and conclusions.
