5G Network Slicing: Methods to Support Blockchain and Reinforcement Learning

Table 1

Network slice classification.

Independent slice	A slice with a logically independent and complete network function. The slice includes a user data plane, a network control plane, and various user business function films, which can provide a logically independent end-to-end private network service for a specific user group. If necessary, only part of the services of specific functions can be provided.
Shared slice	A shared slice is a specific network slice whose network resources can be used by different independent slices. The slice can provide end-to-end services, and when necessary, it can also only provide partial sharing functions.
