• Title: Mobile Edge Computing for the Metaverse
• Authors: Chang Liu, Yitong Wang, Jun Zhao
• Abstract summary: The Metaverse has emerged as the next generation of the Internet. It aims to provide an immersive, persistent virtual space where people can live, learn, work and interact with each other. Existing technology is inadequate to guarantee high visual quality and ultra-low latency service for the Metaverse players. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a paradigm where proximal edge servers are utilized to perform computation-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks like image processing and video analysis.

• Abstract: The Metaverse has emerged as the next generation of the Internet. It aims to provide an immersive, persistent virtual space where people can live, learn, work and interact with each other. However, the existing technology is inadequate to guarantee high visual quality and ultra-low latency service for the Metaverse players. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a paradigm where proximal edge servers are utilized to perform computation-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks like image processing and video analysis. In MEC, the large amount of data is processed by edge servers closest to where it is captured, thus significantly reducing the latency and providing almost real-time performance. In this paper, we integrate fundamental elements (5G and 6G wireless communications, Blockchain, digital twin and artificial intelligence) into the MEC framework to facilitate the Metaverse. We also elaborate on the research problems and applications in the MEC-enabled Metaverse. Finally, we provide a case study to establish a thorough knowledge of the user utility maximization problem in a real-world scenario and gain some insights about trends in potential research directions.

  Vehicle Twins (VTs) provide valuable metaverse services to improve driving safety and on-board satisfaction for VMUs throughout journeys. To maintain uninterrupted metaverse experiences, VTs must be migrated among edge servers following the movements of vehicles. This can raise concerns about privacy breaches during the dynamic communications among vehicular edge metaverses. Existing pseudonym management methods fall short in meeting the extensive pseudonym demands in vehicular edge metaverses.

  "The successor to the mobile Internet", the Metaverse has grown in popularity. lite versions of the Metaverse exist today, but they are far from realizing the full vision of an immersive, embodied, and interoperable Metaverse. Without addressing the issues of implementation from the communication and networking, the Metaverse is difficult to succeed the Internet. We discuss the computation challenges and cloud-edge-end computation framework-driven solutions to realize the Metaverse on resource-constrained edge devices.
