Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently advanced from an experimental
technology to what will become the backbone of future customer value for both
product and service sector businesses. This underscores the cardinal role of
IoT on the journey towards the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication
systems. IoT technologies augmented with intelligent and big data analytics are
expected to rapidly change the landscape of myriads of application domains
ranging from health care to smart cities and industrial automations. The
emergence of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) technology aims at extending
cloud computing capabilities to the edge of the radio access network, hence
providing real-time, high-bandwidth, low-latency access to radio network
resources. IoT is identified as a key use case of MEC, given MEC's ability to
provide cloud platform and gateway services at the network edge. MEC will
inspire the development of myriads of applications and services with demand for
ultra low latency and high Quality of Service (QoS) due to its dense
geographical distribution and wide support for mobility. MEC is therefore an
important enabler of IoT applications and services which require real-time
operations. In this survey, we provide a holistic overview on the exploitation
of MEC technology for the realization of IoT applications and their synergies.
We further discuss the technical aspects of enabling MEC in IoT and provide
some insight into various other integration technologies therein.
