Placing controllers in software-defined wireless mesh networks

Software Defined Networks (SDN) are a novel class of networking solutions in which the traditional paradigm of distributed networking has been replaced with centralized networking approach in which a central controller or a group of controllers make the optimal decisions and the nodes become merely forwarding switches. Similar to the wired domain, Software-Defined Wireless Mesh Networks (SDWMNs) SDWMNs leverage the power of centralized decision...
