Abstract


In this paper, we investigate research challenges on intelligent management and orchestration of network slices in 5G networks and Beyond. In particular, we review the literature in order to understand the main problems involving this issue, as well as machine learning techniques usually employed to solve such problems. We also discuss open issues and new challenges on management and orchestration of network slices imposed by 6G networks.
