Abstract
This paper presents a virtual grouping method used in multi-user network games, which reduces a response time and losses of response data. The proposed method divides each group into virtual groups and transmits data in them after dividing an overall map on a game into several fixed regions and grouping them. And this paper derives the optimal number of groups minimizing a given cost function. The proposed method if shown to be useful by comparing with a general grouping method.
