Dynamic Resource Distribution using SDN in Wireless Networks
Mohammad Ashjaei, Svetlana Girs · 2020
When it comes to smart manufacturing, flexibility is an essential feature as it leads to on demand fabrication of various types of products in a factory with less down time and high throughput. This paper addresses dynamic communication infrastructure needed to provide the above mentioned flexibility. We consider a heterogeneous communication system, consisting of wired and wireless networks, that is managed by software defined networking and propose an admission control residing in the SDN controller and dynamically managing the bandwidth allocation among wireless nodes. To evaluate the proposed protocol we implement the admission control scheme in real hardware and perform a set of experiments to show the applicability and overhead of the protocol.
