ABSTRACT
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been gaining momentum as the main technology for implementation of data center environment, and its usage has recently been extended to transport and wireless networks. Recently, research has been conducted on applying SDN principals to 802.11 networks in order to solve traditional issues such as handover, Radio Resource Management (RRM), network security, as well as integration of wired and 802.11 networks. This paper presents a design for the integration of 802.11 access points into an SDN test bed as an experimental environment to perform analysis, development and testing of SDN applications in 802.11 networks. We present design challenges and solutions, and performance results obtained from this testbed.
