A Novel Architecture for Sdn-based Cellular Network

In this paper, we propose a novel SDN-based cellular network architecture that will be able to utilize the opportunities of centralized administration of today’s emerging mobile network. Our proposed architecture would not depend on a single controller, rather it divides the whole cellular area into clusters, and each cluster is controlled by a separate controller. A number of controller services are provided on top of each controller to manage all the major functionalities of the network and help to make the network programmable and more agile, and create opportunities for policy-driven supervision and more automation.
