A Novel Framework for Software Defined Wireless Body Area Network
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has gained huge popularity in replacing
traditional network by offering flexible and dynamic network management. It has
drawn significant attention of the researchers from both academia and
industries. Particularly, incorporating SDN in Wireless Body Area Network
(WBAN) applications indicates promising benefits in terms of dealing with
challenges like traffic management, authentication, energy efficiency etc.
while enhancing administrative control. This paper presents a novel framework
for Software Defined WBAN (SDWBAN), which brings the concept of SDN technology
into WBAN applications. By decoupling the control plane from data plane and
having more programmatic control would assist to overcome the current lacking
and challenges of WBAN. Therefore, we provide a conceptual framework for SDWBAN
with packet flow model and a future direction of research pertaining to SDWBAN.Comment: Presented on 8th International Conference on Intelligent Systems,
