Using software-defined networking principles for wireless sensor networks
Martin Jacobsson, Charalampos Orfanidis · KTH Publication Database DiVA (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) · 2015
In this paper, we propose an architecture based on software-defined networking (SDN) for wireless sensor networks. Ideas of how to design and make use of the flexibility that SDN offers are presented. We discuss how SDN principles can lead to the use of commodity hardware in a wider range of WSN deployments and then tailor the software only to meet the requirements of the specific deployments and their applications. A few examples are introduced that demonstrate how the architecture can be used for networking, in-network processing, and performance predictions.
