Virtual reality (VR) applications have revolutionized digital interaction by providing immersive experiences.360° VR video streaming has experienced significant growth and popularity as a pivotal VR application. However, the combination of limited network bandwidth and the demand for high-quality videos frequently hinders the achievement of a satisfactory quality of experience (QoE). Although prior methods have enhanced QoE, the effects of decoding latency have been poorly studied. It is technically challenging to design a quality adaptation algorithm that can balance the pursuit of high-quality videos and the limitation of limited bandwidth resources. To address this challenge, we propose an edge-end architecture for 360° VR video streaming and aim to enhance overall QoE by solving a performance optimization problem. Specifically, our experiments on commercial mobile devices in real-world situations reveal that decoding latency significantly influences QoE. First, decoding latency plays a major role in contributing to end-to-end latency, which exceeds the transmission latency. Second, decoding latency can differ considerably between devices with varying computational capabilities. Building on this insight, we propose a novel latency-aware quality adaptation (LAQA) algorithm. LAQA lies in developing a solution that can allocate video quality in real-time and enhance overall QoE. LAQA involves not only the quality of the received content, the transmission latency and the quality variance, but also the decoding latency and the fairness of the user quality. Subsequently, we formulate a combinatorial optimization problem to maximize overall QoE. Through extensive validation with experimental data from real-world situations, LAQA offers a promising approach to enhance QoE and ensure fairness performance in different devices. In particular, LAQA achieves 16.77% and 10.66% enhancement over the state-of-the-art combinatorial optimization and reinforcement learning algorithm

We present a faithful geometric picture for genuine tripartite entanglement of discrete, continuous, and hybrid quantum systems. We first find that the triangle relation Ei|jkα≤Ej|ikα+Ek|ijα holds for all subadditive bipartite entanglement measure E, all permutations under parties i,j,k, all α∈[0,1], and all pure tripartite states. Then, we rigorously prove that the nonobtuse triangle area, enclosed by side Eα with 0<α≤1/2, is a measure for genuine tripartite entanglement. Finally, it is significantly strengthened for qubits that given a set of subadditive and nonsubadditive measures, some state is always found to violate the triangle relation for any α>1, and the triangle area is not a measure for any α>1/2. Our results pave the way to study discrete and continuous multipartite entanglement within a unified framework.
