ABSTRACT

SDN-based network control technology has attracted much attention on wired core networks, and therefore all control and resource management on the network is expected to be integrated into the SDN technology in the future. On the contrary, the IEEE 802.21 standard, Media Independent Handover (MIH), includes a technique for managing wireless resource information to support media independent handover services. By combining these two technologies, SDN controller, managing only the resource and control information of the existing wired network, also has the advantage of being able to manage information and mobility of wired/wireless network resources in an integrated manner by gathering information on MIH that manages wireless network resources and mobility related information together. In this paper, we propose an interworking scheme of MIH standard protocol in SDN environment and build an SDN-based MIH interworking platform. We also developed a simple SDN-based wireless resource management application on the platform and tested the performance of the platform constructed in this paper. The wireless interworking platform of the SDN environment developed in this paper can be used to test the wireless bandwidth management of SDN based APs and the load management function of APs. And it can also be utilized for developing terminal mobility technology based on the allocated resource information.
