“…The use of MEC systems can also inspire further research for developing new services and applications, in order to assure network efficiency and enhanced user experience. MEC can be used to maintain network or service states for emerging applications, e.g., for resiliency reasons by keeping a state of a critical parameter and providing backup features or can help analyzing QoE or other performance related states, for instance in [202] considering the performance of Time Division-LTE. MEC can further provide proxying functionality on behalf of end users, e.g., for energy saving purposes, and can enhance the network scalability by reducing the signaling overhead related to network processes, through the aggregation of signaling messages or via mechanisms that can enable connectivity sharing, e.g., sharing an established bearer among a set of MTC devices with the same service requirements [203].…”

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is an emerging ecosystem, which aims at converging telecommunication and IT services, providing a cloud computing platform at the edge of the radio access network. MEC offers storage and computational resources at the edge, reducing latency for mobile end users and utilizing more efficiently the mobile backhaul and core networks. This paper introduces a survey on MEC and focuses on the fundamental key enabling technologies. It elaborates MEC orchestration considering both individual services and a network of MEC platforms supporting mobility, bringing light into the different orchestration deployment options. In addition, this paper analyzes the MEC reference architecture and main deployment scenarios, which offer multitenancy support for application developers, content providers, and third parties. Finally, this paper overviews the current standardization activities and elaborates further on open research challenges.
