Mobility Paradigm through Software Defined MANETs

Software Defined Networks (SDN) has been emerging as the new promising paradigm for the large scale, complex wireless ad hoc networks which separate the control plane from the data plane. Unfortunately, existing Mobile Ad hoc network architecture lacks the flexibility to monitor and control the data flow in the network. This paper presents a prototype of Software Defined MANETs (SDM) architecture describing the mobility pattern of the nodes in the network by offering a feasible, dynamic programmable network infrastructure. In addition, some existing mobility models on software defined MANETs are also simulated with Mininet.
