Advanced Metaverse Wireless Communication Systems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781839539077)

Billions of wireless applications are proliferating in the global space. The novel wireless systems to support these applications need to satisfy several user-defined metrics to ensure quality of physical experience, quality of service, low latency and ultra-high reliability. Enabling technologies are being developed in order to meet these rate-hungry requirements.

Managing these complex wireless and computing resources requires a proactive analysis of the core wireless systems, especially in the metaverse, which is a virtual model of the physical world systems. The metaverse concept is intended to be self-sustainable and facilitates the seamless operation of wireless systems at minimal operational costs for the efficient management of wireless system resources. It is gaining widespread popularity using technologies such as advanced optimization theory, digital twins, virtual reality, machine learning, and blockchain.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of advanced metaverse wireless communication systems. The authors highlight the technology enablers and critical design aspects, emphasize how the metaverse can support wireless systems but also show how wireless systems can empower the metaverse. They address critical concerns covering theoretical analysis, novel system architecture design and new implementation methodologies, emerging application scenarios, experimental frameworks, and reliability, security, privacy, technical, and ethical considerations, viable solutions, as well as open challenges, the social impacts of the metaverse concept and future perspectives.

Offering a range of international perspectives from researchers in the field, this book is intended for researchers from academia and industry, and scientists, engineers, lecturers and advanced students in the fields of wireless and mobile communications, networking, computing, data science, AI/ML/DL, multimedia, haptics, sensing, CPS and immersive technologies.
