User-Aware Resource Allocation Algorithm for Virtual Reality in Metaverse

Even though introducing the edge computing to support metaverse services, sophisticated resource allocation algorithm is needed due to varied required computation resources and operating environments. In this paper, we introduce a user-aware resource allocation algorithm (UARA) for the metaverse and examine a resource allocation strategy for edge cloud computing. The objective of the resource allocation strategy is to maximize the aggregated quality of experiences (QoEs) for users while ensuring that each user's QoE remains above a certain threshold. Evaluation results show that the proposed resource allocation policy enhances users' QoE.
