Investigation of Video Traffic Transmission via Augmented Reality Devices in a Mesh Network

Increasing attention in research in the field of networks and communication systems attracts the creation and development of communication networks of the fifth generation. An important role is given to new applications that determine the capabilities of these networks in the provision of services. Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the most promising applications. Requirements for the provision of Augmented Reality services are quite stringent, especially in terms of the circular delay, the permissible value of which is determined by the value of 5 ms. This requires the development of adequate solutions for the network structure, which in the fifth generation communications network are based on mobile edge computing technology. The article is devoted to the actual topic of using Augmented Reality technology and provides an investigation of the transmission of video data for Augmented Reality applications through a mesh network. The basis of the material presented is the solution of the problem of simulation modeling of the use of Augmented Reality in a mesh network, made using the COOJA simulator. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
