In the fifth generation (5G) of global communications, seamless and ubiquitous connectivity is becoming increasingly important, requiring a radical change in network architecture. As a critical enabler for enhancing network infrastructure to meet the changing needs of the 5G ecosystem, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is examined in this paper. By consolidating computing resources at the edge of the network, MEC can improve latency, bandwidth, and reliability for a variety of mobile applications and services. A comprehensive examination of current developments in MEC and its integration with 5G networks has highlighted many technological advances, protocol developments, and architectural improvements that contribute to highly responsive and efficient mobile networks and communications. The study examines how MEC will impact communications-related topics, such as improved mobile broadband, large-scale automated communications, and highly reliable, low-latency networks. Apart from addressing topics such as resource distribution, security issues, and interoperability, the paper explores the potential advantages and difficulties of deploying MEC in a 5G environment. Case studies and real-world applications are investigated as well as providing insight into the potential benefits and drawbacks of MEC. As a result, the digital world can become more connected and responsive. The research found that MEC is an important technology during this period, providing a computing architecture that improves mobile network performance, responsiveness, and capacity across multiple application and service domains. As it is integrated into 5G networks in general and due to ongoing technological and architectural improvements, it may be more important in identifying mobile traffic.
