Abstract
Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) is one of diverse applications where more than hundreds of users enjoy experiencing virtual worlds. Voronoi-based Overlay Network (VON) is proposed to reduce a bandwidth consumption in P2P MMOGs and Vorocast also is made using message forwarding in VON. We propose a dynamic area of interest (AOI) management method that solves problems such as less consistency and high latency due to sending position updates to more neighbor nodes from the message originator in forwarding scheme. Our scheme provides the higher consistency and reduces latency by combining direct connection scheme and Vorocast scheme compared to existing schemes. The proposed model is evaluated through simulations.
