“…• Communication Network: traditional communication and networking infrastructures will not be able to cope with excessive data communication. In essence, NGNs, including 6G, must consider the metaverse requirements in terms of QoS, QoE, congestion control, network slicing, and network virtualization [4].…”

The advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have led to technological advancements in a plethora of domains. Healthcare, education, and smart city services are now enriched with AI capabilities. These technological advancements would not have been realized without the assistance of fast, secure, and fault-tolerant communication media. Traditional processing, communication and storage technologies cannot maintain high levels of scalability and user experience for immersive services. The metaverse is an immersive three-dimensional (3D) virtual world that integrates fantasy and reality into a virtual environment using advanced virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices. Such an environment is still being developed and requires extensive research in order for it to be realized to its highest attainable levels. In this article, we discuss some of the key issues required in order to attain realization of metaverse services. We propose a framework that integrates digital twin (DT) with other advanced technologies such as the sixth generation (6G) communication network, blockchain, and AI, to maintain continuous end-to-end metaverse services. This article also outlines requirements for an integrated, DT-enabled metaverse framework and provides a look ahead into the evolving topic.

“…A very recent survey [3] presents 6G-enabled edge AI for the Metaverse, but blockchain is not highlighted. In addition, [31] focuses on 6G for the Metaverse; [32] presents the Metaverse for wireless systems; and [33] explains edge-enabled Metaverse. Meanwhile, our work also considers the support of AI and blockchain for MEC in the context of 6G-enabled Metaverse.…”

With the advances of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G/6G wireless communications, the paradigms of mobile computing have developed dramatically in recent years, from centralized mobile cloud computing to distributed fog computing and mobile edge computing (MEC). MEC pushes computeintensive assignments to the edge of the network and brings resources as close to the endpoints as possible, addressing the shortcomings of mobile devices with regard to storage space, resource optimisation, computational performance and efficiency. Compared to cloud computing, as the distributed and closer infrastructure, the convergence of MEC with other emerging technologies, including the Metaverse, 6G wireless communications, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, also solves the problems of network resource allocation, more network load as well as latency requirements. Accordingly, this paper investigates the computational paradigms used to meet the stringent requirements of modern applications. The application scenarios of MEC in mobile augmented reality (MAR) are provided. Furthermore, this survey presents the motivation of MEC-based Metaverse and introduces the applications of MEC to the Metaverse. Particular emphasis is given on a set of technical fusions mentioned above, e.g., 6G with MEC paradigm, MEC strengthened by blockchain, etc.

“…6G will definitely provide much higher throughput and much lower latency than we currently have in 5G. However, apart from that, a key advantage of 6G will be the flexibility of the architecture and communication standard, which will range from low throughput links for IoT to the ultra-high throughput links for XR experience [5]. In addition, 6G will feature a multi-flow service provision by intelligent deterministic timesensitive networking, which can facilitate metaverse applications that rely on multiple data sources and user devices [6].…”

<p>The goal of the metaverse is to provide a synchronized interoperability of real and virtual worlds across multiple domains and applications. The main challenge is to make the metaverse interface both immersive and responsive to user actions. In this paper, we propose a new concept called a distributed wearable smartphone, which provides a synergistic integration of head-mounted displays, wearable sensors and other smart devices to translate user context and actions across real and virtual metaverse domains. The proposed architecture is flexible and can be composed from any set of devices, depending on the target application. The key benefits of the proposed approach are the realistic 3D representation and the semi-virtual user experience, which can be extended to a wide range of different applications in industry, education, healthcare and entertainment.</p>
