摘要

移动边缘计算（MEC）技术将IT服务环境和云计算技术在网络边缘相结合，提高边缘网络的计算和存储能力，减少网络操作和服务交付时延，提升用户服务质量体验，因此受到了广泛关注，并且已经作为关键技术被纳入5G标准。首先介绍了MEC的基本概念、参考架构和技术优势，然后从学术界、产业界和标准制定3个角度出发概括了MEC的研究现状，随后详细介绍了MEC的关键技术、应用场景以及具体的部署方式，最后对MEC的移动性、安全和计费以及隐私保护等现存问题进行了归纳和展望。

Abstract

Mobile edge computing (MEC) technology integrates IT service environment and cloud computing technology at the edge of the network

improving the capacities of computing and storage of the edge of network

reducing network operation and service delivery delay and further enhancing the quality of experience (QoE) of users.Thus

MEC has attracted extensive attention and has been added in the 5G standard as a key technology.Firstly

the basic concept

reference architecture and technical advantages of MEC were introduced

and the current research state of MEC were summarized from three perspectives:academia

industry and standard setting.Then

the key enablers

application scenarios and specific deployment methods of MEC were introduced in detail.Finally

the existing problems of MEC

such as mobility

security and billing

as well as privacy protection

were discussed.
