Abstract Software-Defined Networks (SDN), a trending networking technology, offers
promising solutions to address the inherent problems of wireless networks, particularly …

While SDN has traditionally targeted fixed and wired environments with hundreds of nodes,
recently its main principles have also been followed in wireless ad hoc scenarios. However …

In the struggle against population aging, chronic diseases, and a lack of medical facilities,
the emergence of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) technology has ushered in …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is widely perceived to simplify network management
and monitoring. The introduction of the SDN model into wireless sensor networks (WSNs) …

Intelligent devices and equipment have affected almost all aspects of our life and behavior.
The type of connection and the manner of communication between this large volume of …

Wireless technologies usually have very limited computing, memory, and battery power that
require the optimal management of network resources to increase network performance …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new approach to designing networks. SDN
decouples and migrates network control from the hardware, which enables innovative and …

In multihop wireless networks (MWNs), wireless nodes can communicate with each other
through intermediate nodes without the help of any infrastructure. Therefore, wireless nodes …
