network, leading to the notion of the Internet of Everything espe- cially for vertical industries. From ITU-R perspective, the IMT systems serve as a communication tool for people and a facilitator which enable the development of other industry sectors, such as medical science, transportation, and education. IMT systems will continue to contribute to the following aspects [1,4,5]: Wireless Infrastructure: Broadband wireless connectivity will attain the same level of importance as access to electricity. IMT will continue to play an important role in this context as it will act as one of the key pillars to enable mobile service delivery and information exchange. In the future, private and professional users will be provided with a wide variety of applications and services, ranging from infotainment services to new industrial and professional applications. NSI is defined as a set of network functions and resources to run network functions, forming a complete instantiated logical network to meet certain network characteristics required by the service instance(s). A net- work slice instance may be fully or partly, logically and/or physically, isolated from another network slice instance. The resources consist of physical and logical resources. A network slice instance may be composed of subnetwork instances, which as a special case may be shared by multiple network slice instances. The net- work slice instance is defined by a network slice blueprint. Instance-specific policies and configurations are required when creating a network slice instance. Network characteristics examples are ultra-low-latency, ultra-high reliability, etc. [25,26]. Introduction and Background XCV Integrated Information and Communication Technologies (ICT): The development of future IMT systems is expected to promote the emergence of an integrated ICT indus- try which constitute a driver for economies around the globe. Some possible areas include the accumulation, aggregation and analysis of big data as well as delivering customized network ser
