移动边缘计算 (MEC) 是一项新兴技术，目前被认为是 5G 网络的关键推动因素。 MEC 与当前 4G 网络兼容，将在物联网 (IoT) 大规模普及的推动下解决 5G 系统的许多关键用途。本文旨在提供有关 MEC 技术的教程，并概述欧洲电信标准协会 (ETSI) MEC 行业规范组 (ISG) 标准化组织最近定义的 MEC 框架和架构。我们提供了一些 MEC 部署示例，特别参考了物联网案例，因为物联网被认为是 5G 的主要驱动力。最后，我们讨论 MEC 迈向 5G 的主要好处和挑战。
Mobile-Edge computing (MEC) is an emerging technology currently recognized as a key enabler for 5G networks. Compatible with current 4G networks, MEC will address many key uses of the 5G system, motivated by the massive diffusion of the Internet of Things (IoT). This article aims to provide a tutorial on MEC technology and an overview of the MEC framework and architecture recently defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) MEC Industry Specification Group (ISG) standardization organization. We provide some examples of MEC deployment, with special reference to IoT cases, since IoT is recognized as a main driver for 5G. Finally, we discuss the main benefits and challenges for MEC moving toward 5G.
