Abstract
All of users who connect to mobile game want to play seamless real-time game without any loads on game servers. However, as for existing methods, it is not available to effectively distribute server loads. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement an uniform variance-based load balancer for distributing loads of game servers for wireless online games by suitable load balancing methods. With this methods, we can deal with dynamically increasing game servers as the information about load balancing of specific period is applied to the administrator.
