Abstract

In order to meet the challenging requirements of next generation networks in terms of capacity, deployment cost and coverage, mobile edge computing(MEC) is usually necessary to complete the latency-sensitive and computation-intensive task with the assistance of relay nodes. This paper firstly introduced the basic architecture of relay-assisted MEC system, and then summarized the up-to-date research methods of relay-assisted MEC system from three aspects: task offloading, resource allocation and relay selection. Furthermore, this paper discussed and analyzed the possible problems and challenges of the existing methods, and put forward some feasible solutions to provide reference for follow-up research and development.
