With the advances of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G/6G wirelesscommunications, the paradigms of mobile computing have developed dramaticallyin recent years, from centralized mobile cloud computing to distributed fogcomputing and mobile edge computing (MEC). MEC pushes compute-intensiveassignments to the edge of the network and brings resources as close to theendpoints as possible, addressing the shortcomings of mobile devices withregard to storage space, resource optimisation, computational performance andefficiency. Compared to cloud computing, as the distributed and closerinfrastructure, 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 paperinvestigates the computational paradigms used to meet the stringentrequirements of modern applications. The application scenarios of MEC in mobileaugmented reality (MAR) are provided. Furthermore, this survey presents themotivation of MEC-based Metaverse and introduces the applications of MEC to theMetaverse. Particular emphasis is given on a set of technical fusions mentionedabove, e.g., 6G with MEC paradigm, MEC strengthened by blockchain, etc.
