Cellular Metaverse: Enhancing Real-Time Communications in Virtual World

In the next few years, various technologies including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, virtual reality, and augmented reality will coexist to realize the objectives of 6G wireless systems. In this paper, we propose a digital twin (DT) prototype of conventional wireless communication systems in a metaverse/virtual environment. We develop the modelling scenario of a cellular communications set-up in the Unity platform at first. Then, we establish the real-time communication between BS/s and user/s' in a metaverse environment after introducing some features such as cell coverage area, operating frequency, and global positioning system (GPS). With the aid of GPS, we continuously monitor the user/s' position in the metaverse environment. Moreover, we use the C# scripting tool in the metaverse environment to make all the modelling units functional and interconnected. The experiment results show that the user/s' location can be localized in the digital world, creating the DT of the real cellular communications set-up.
