A SDN based approach to improve energy consumption in wireless ad hoc network

Ad-hoc wireless networks are increasingly being used in communications especially in surveillance situations in unfriendly environments. Energy management problem of these communicating autonomous nodes is a major handicap especially for countries with limited financial resources. Indeed, the lifespan of this type of network is that of a few nodes. In this article, we propose the use of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology to optimize...
