contents Proactive virtual reality (VR) streaming requires users to upload viewpoint-related information, raising significant privacy concerns. Existing strategies preserve privacy by introducing errors to viewpoints, which, however, compromises the quality of experience (QoE) of users. In this paper, we first delve into the analysis of the viewpoint leakage probability achieved by existing privacy-preserving approaches. We determine the optimal distribution of viewpoint errors that minimizes the viewpoint leakage probability. Our analyses show that existing approaches cannot fully eliminate viewpoint leakage. Then, we propose a novel privacy-preserving approach that introduces noise to uploaded viewpoint prediction errors, which can ensure zero viewpoint leakage probability. Given the proposed approach, the tradeoff between privacy preservation and QoE is optimized to minimize the QoE loss while satisfying the privacy requirement. Simulation results validate our analysis results and demonstrate that the proposed approach offers a promising solution for balancing privacy and QoE.
