Redes definidas por software para redes móviles en arquitectura de IoT

Abstract

Abstract: A MANET network is made up of mobile nodes without infrastructure, it is self-organized and its communication is multi-hop until it reaches the destination. This network is compatible with multiple applications, such as the Internet of Things. The routing process within MANET becomes a challenging task, due to the random mobility of the nodes and the sporadic change of the network topology, with this the non-synchronization in the transmissions causes loss of packets, intermittent links, and greater interference, resulting in unreliable communication. In this research, an SDN-MANET architecture proposal is presented to solve this problem. The architecture is based on a proactive routing where the SDN controllers are in charge of the management of the nodes within the network, the OpenFlow protocol is used for communication with the controllers. The proposal was evaluated in various scenarios addressing, network density and traffic load, the results indicate that the proposal works efficiently and in most cases better than the OLSR protocol.
