Authors - Shreya Devagiri, Vijayalakshmi M Abstract - The rapid progress of fifth-generation (5G) technology has transformed the networking and telecommunications field, introducing unprecedented data rates, low latency, and the capability to unlock innovative applications. This paper emphasizes the importance of ongoing evolution, with a specific focus on achieving seamless mobility and integrating Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) into 5G networks. To address these requirements, our research conducts an extensive survey, exploring various issues that arise in 5G networks and presenting state-of-the-art solutions. We thoroughly investigate challenges such as network congestion and security vulnerabilities to provide a comprehensive view of the current situation. The article underscores the significance of MEC integration in enhancing 5G capabilities, enabling efficient computation and data processing at the network edge. Additionally, we outline a roadmap for future research, suggesting possible directions for study and development to address emerging problems. This research provides crucial insights into the current status of 5G networks and serves as a roadmap for future initiatives aimed at maximizing the performance, flexibility, and security of 5G technologies.
