Software defined network for conservation of energy in wireless sensor network
B N Smitha, D. Annapurna · 2017
Premeditating on extension of nodes to greater span of life incessantly, utilizing at the perpetuating of energy is the major known problem which is faced by the respective wireless sensor network (WSN) as the nodes of the respective sensors, which is possessing restrained power of the battery and are even expected to perform at the accumulation of the data and functions of actuations respectively for the sensing of the data. I herein realize that savings in energy can be suggested as the architecture with the consequences gained and utilizing the environments of the simulator of the respective network. In WSN there is tight bonding between data plane and control plane. As nodes perform both data plane task and control plane task energy consumption is high in traditional WSN. Here proposed energy efficient software defined wireless sensor network which decouples control plane and data plane. Routing and clustering of nodes is done by centralized controller implemented at base station. By making an association of the software defined network (SDN) in WSN, the respective node of the sensors performs the furthering and does not take part in any of the routing decisions, which are due to the devour of energy, which in turn results in less consumption of energy. NS2 is used to implement the work to check performance of the proposed system with existing system.
