With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT), a large amount of data generated in edge scenarios such as sensors often needs to be transmitted to cloud nodes for processing, which brings huge transmission cost and processing delay. Cloud-edge collaboration provides a solution for these problems. Firstly, on the basis of comprehensive investigation and analysis of the development process of cloud-edge collaboration, combined with the current research ideas and progress of intelligent cloud-edge collaboration, the data acquisition and analysis, computation offloading technology and model-based intelligent optimization technology in cloud edge architecture were analyzed and discussed emphatically. Secondly, the functions and applications of various technologies in intelligent cloud-edge collaboration were analyzed deeply from the edge and the cloud respectively, and the application scenarios of intelligent cloud-edge collaboration technology in reality were discussed. Finally, the current challenges and future development directions of intelligent cloud-edge collaboration were pointed out.
