Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) can be defined as a model for enabling business oriented, cloud computing platform within multiple types of the access network (e.g., LTE, 5G, WiFi, FTTH, etc.) at the close proximity of subscribers to serve delay sensitive, context aware applications. To pull out the most of the potential, MEC has to be designed as infrastructure, to support many kind of IoT applications and their eco system, in addition to sufficiently management mechanism. In this context, various research and standardization efforts are ongoing. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art research efforts on MEC domain, with focus on the architectural proposals as infrastracture, the issue of the partitioning of processing among the user devices, edge servers, and a cloud, and the issue of the resource management.
