A study of reducing resource waste for mobile grid with software defined network

Abstract

This paper introduces a model that provides reduced resource waste. A resource waste is main issue of performance of mobile grid. To solve this issue, we utilize new type network system. That is Software Defined Network(SDN). In traditional network environment, there are various network technologies on Internet. People enjoy a high speed Internet service by advanced network technologies now. However, this advanced network becomes a hurdle that the new network technology is hard to be applied. Many researchers try to overcome this problem. They introduce a new network concept that is called SDN. SDN divides a switch into a control plane and a data plane. SDN provides network administrators with more comfortable management. In addition, SDN is a variety of other benefits. These benefits are used to the mobile grid. Mobile grid has an issue of management that resources of a node are freely controlled due to unstable mobile network environment. SDN overcomes this problem using additional tag of a switch and programmable controller of own networks. In this paper, we introduce a model of mobile grid with SDN. Also, we assert benefits of mobile grid with SDN. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
