Abstract

Method and apparatus for inter-eye prediction models for XR. The apparatus transforms at least part of a first frame associated with a first perspective of a first camera to at least part of a second frame associated with a second perspective of a second camera based on at least one prediction model. The apparatus transmits, to a second wireless device, a prediction indication of the at least one prediction model used to transform the at least part of the first frame to the at least part of the second frame. The apparatus transmits, to the second wireless device, an encoded signal comprising a combined frame comprising a combination of at least the first frame and the second frame.

transmit, to the second wireless device, the prediction indication of the at least one prediction model used to transform the at least part of the first frame to the at least part of the second frame; and

transmit, to the second wireless device, the encoded signal comprising the combined frame comprising the combination of the at least the first frame and the second frame.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one prediction model predicts the at least part of the second frame based on the at least part of the first frame.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

select the at least one prediction model based on a prediction quality, wherein the at least one prediction model is selected from a set of prediction models.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the prediction indication comprises one or more parameters associated with the at least one prediction model.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the prediction indication is transmitted when a connection between the first wireless device and the second wireless device is established.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the prediction indication is transmitted within at least one of a downlink control indicator (DCI), radio resource control (RRC) signaling, or media access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE).

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the prediction indication is transmitted in a periodic configuration or an aperiodic configuration.
