Abstract: With the arrival of the B5G/6G era characterized by extremely high speed, connected intelligence, and global network coverage, all walks of life are enjoying its convenience. As one of the most important areas for B5G/6G commercialization, the automotive industry has also entered a new stage of evolution. With B5G/6G technology, vehicular networks can achieve a full range of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connections, providing users with intelligent, comfortable, safe, and efficient services. Network slicing is widely regarded as the key enabler of B5G/6G, which can divide the physical network into multiple logical networks as needed, transforming the network form from “one-size-fits-all” to “one-size-per-service” to meet differentiated performance metrics, which has received a lot of attention in the field of intelligent vehicular networks. We provide in this tutorial a comprehensive review of recent research works concerning B5G/6G network slicing for V2X services from three aspects: technics, standards, and challenges. Slicing technics lay the foundation for realizing end-to-end logical isolation and V2X service provision, which involves multiple technical domains such as radio access network (RAN), core network (CN), edge/cloud, and slicing management system. Since ubiquitous intelligence is one of the B5G/6G’s most striking features, we especially emphasize the artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted slicing technics for V2X services. Cross-domain and cross-vendor standards can provide technical guidance for network slicing, which is also the prelude to its widespread commercialization.

Finally, we highlight the challenges of network slicing for V2X services and envision its future evolution.
