摘要: 随着物联网与5G技术的不断演进,数据流量呈现出前所未有的爆炸式增长趋势。在此背景下,传统集中式云计算模式已无法满足终端数据处理低延时和低能耗的需求,能够在数据产生源头提供即时服务的移动边缘计算(Mobile Edge Computing,MEC)逐渐成为解决该问题的最优选。计算卸载作为MEC技术的核心组成部分,其性能受多种因素影响,优化计算卸载以提升性能已成为全球研究者关注的焦点。对此,深入探讨了MEC的计算卸载技术。首先,回顾了MEC的发展历程,并阐述了MEC和计算卸载的概念和架构;其次,从计算卸载技术在不同场景下的实际应用出发,讨论了其研究现状,并介绍了有关计算卸载的优化技术;最后,分析了计算卸载技术面临的挑战,并对未来MEC计算卸载技术的研究方向进行展望,为后续的研究工作指明方向。
