Abstract: Performing network optimization using quantum communication driver (QCD) computing devices based on measured network attributes of a communications network is disclosed. In one example, an interceptor proxy computing device receives a message sent by a sending computing device and directed to a recipient computing device via a communications network. The interceptor proxy computing device determines, based on a network attribute of the communications network, whether to perform network optimization for the communications network. If so, the interceptor proxy computing device sends the message to a QCD computing device, which performs superdense encoding of the message using one or more first qubits that are each in an entangled state with a corresponding one or more second qubits of a QCD computing device coupled to the recipient computing device. The first qubit(s) are then sent to the QCD computing device coupled to the recipient computing device.

Abstract: Maintaining layer 7 state as a client device roams between network devices during a session. Data packets used in executing a layer 7 application are received at a first network device that a client device is coupled to during a session. Data packets received by the first network device are stored in a layer 7 application buffer that is sent to a second network device that a client device roams to during a session. A layer 7 application buffer is used to classify a layer 7 application that is the subject of a session in order to maintain layer 7 state as a client device roams to a second network device during a session.

Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) audio rendering system and method include spatializing microphone-captured real-world sounds according to a VR setting. In a game streaming system, when a player speaks through a microphone, the voice is processed by geometrical acoustic (GA) simulation configured for a virtual scene, and thereby spatialized audio effects specific to the scene are added. The GA simulation may include generating an impulse response using sound propagation simulation and dynamic HRTF-based listener directivity. When the GA-processed voice of the player is played, the local player or other fellow players can hear it as if the sound travels in the scenery and according to the geometries in the virtual scene. This mechanism can advantageously place the players' chatting in the same virtual world like built-in game audio, thereby advantageously providing enhanced immersive VR experience to users.
