Software-DEFI wireless sensor networks: A systematic review, architecture and challenges

Abstract

Software-defined networking (SDN) paradigm leads to innovation and simplicity in network configuration and management. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming an essential component of the Internet of Things (IoTs). The combination of these two models gives rise to a new paradigm: Software-defined wireless sensor networks (SDWSNs). This paper provides a systematic review on SDWSNs. The study also discusses open challenges of further research on SDWSNs.
