Abstract: As the key infrastructure of digital society, 5G not only serves individual users, but also meets the requirements of digital transformation in all walks of life. Network slicing and edge computing have attracted much attention because they can support the business requirements of thousands of industries in 5Gera.The introduction of network slicing brings flexibility to the network and it also brings complexity of management and operation and maintenance to the network. If the degree of automation of network slicing is not enough, operators’business innovation through network slicing will be limited. By deploying cloud computing and cloud storage to the edge of the network, edge computes provides customers with industry services with low latency and high reliability.At the same time, edge computing is a cross-border ecosystem. In order to achieve intelligence in various industries, it is necessary to integrate cross-industry technologies. This paper analyses the future development direction of the two technologies from the perspective of technology evolution of network slicing and edge computing,and puts forward the architecture of intelligent slicing network, edge computing and 5Gnetwork convergence, as well as their respective technical challenges.

Key words: 5G, network slicing, edge computing
