Driving forces for Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) IoT integration in 5G

The emergence of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) technology aims to extend cloud computing capabilities the edge wireless access networks, i.e., closer end-users. Thus, MEC-enabled 5G systems are envisaged offer real-time, low-latency, and high-bandwidth radio network resources. MEC allows operators open up their networks a wide range innovative services, thereby giving rise brand-new ecosystem value chain. Furthermore, as an enabling will provide new insights into coherent integration Internet Things (IoT) in systems. In this context, paper expounds four key technologies, including Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software Defined Networking (SDN), Slicing Information Centric (ICN), that propel intensify IoT networks. Moreover, our goal is close alliance between these driving technologies context identify challenges, future directions, concrete paths.
