However, for mobile devices with limited computation capability and energy budgets, it is still a serious challenge to meet the stringent delay and energy requirements of computation-intensive ubiquitous mobile applications. Therefore, in view of the significant success in ground mobile networks, the introduction of mobile edge computing (MEC) in SAGIN has become a promising technology to solve the challenge. By deploying computing, cache, and communication resources in the edge of mobile networks, SAGIN MEC provides both low latency, high bandwidth, and wide coverage, substantially improving the quality of services for mobile applications. There are still many unprecedented challenges, due to its high dynamic, heterogeneous and complex time-varying topology. Therefore, efficient MEC deployment, resource management, and scheduling optimization in SAGIN are of great significance. However, most existing surveys only focus on either the network architecture and system model, or the analysis of specific technologies of computation offloading, without a complete description of the key MEC technologies for SAGIN. Motivated by this, this paper first presents a SAGIN network system architecture and service framework, followed by the descriptions of its characteristics and advantages. Then, the MEC deployment, network resources, edge intelligence, optimization objectives and key algorithms in SAGIN are discussed in detail. Finally, potential problems and challenges of MEC in SAGIN are discussed for future work.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jsan11040057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]],"date-time":"2022-09-22T05:33:14Z","timestamp":1663824794000},"page":"57","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Mobile Edge Computing in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks: Architectures, Key Technologies and Challenges"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yuan","family":"Qiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Shanghai Aerospace Electronic Technology Institute, Shanghai 201109, China"}]},{"given":"Jianwei","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]},{"given":"Xinzhong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Aerospace Electronic Technology Institute, Shanghai 201109, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1234-2185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kuntuo","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Aerospace Electronic Technology Institute, Shanghai 201109, China"}]},{"given":"Yiming","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]},{"given":"Beibei","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"STL in Shanghai Institute for Integrated Application of Network Technology, Shanghai 201103, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"132","DOI":"10.1016\/j.icte.2016.01.003","article-title":"5G mobile technology: A survey","volume":"1","author":"Mitra","year":"2015","journal-title":"Ict.
