| contents | Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications demand deterministic communication with high reliability, low latency, and adaptability to dynamic workloads. Network slicing, a key enabler in 5G and beyond, offers the potential to meet these stringent requirements by creating logically isolated and customized network partitions. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the design and realization of network slicing tailored for IIoT systems. Our aim is to bridge the gap between standards-driven network slicing concepts and their practical application in industrial automation networks. First, we analyze both core and radio access network (RAN) perspectives, emphasizing slice-specific architectural considerations and mapping them to 3GPP standards. Then, we propose a blueprint-based design approach for edge-centric slice deployment and present a catalogue of lightweight, standardised slice profiles derived from 3GPP specifications and testbed experiences in the literature. In addition, we survey an array of open-source and commercial tools used for slice provisioning, orchestration, and monitoring. © 2025 IEEE. |
