Metaverse Unbound: A Survey on Synergistic Integration Between Semantic Communication, 6G, and Edge Learning

Abstract

With a focus on edge learning, blockchain, sixth generation (6G) wireless systems, semantic communication, and large language models (LLMs), this survey paper examines the revolutionary integration of cutting-edge technologies within the metaverse. This thorough examination highlights the critical role these technologies play in improving realism and user engagement on three main levels: technical, virtual, and physical. While the virtual layer focuses on building immersive experiences, the physical layer highlights improvements to the user interface through augmented reality (AR) goggles and virtual reality (VR) headsets. Blockchain-powered technical layer enables safe, decentralized communication. The survey highlights how the metaverse has the potential to drastically change how people interact in society by exploring applications in a variety of fields, such as immersive education, remote work, and entertainment. Concerns about privacy, scalability, and interoperability are raised, highlighting the necessity of continued study to realize the full potential of the metaverse. For scholars looking to broaden the reach and significance of the metaverse in the digital age, this paper is a useful tool.
