Deployment of Flow-Sensors in Internet of Things´ Virtualization via OpenFlow

A novel idea presented in this paper is to deploy the Open Flow technology in wireless sensor networks that can lead to a significant achievement in Internet of things and cloud computing arena through network virtualization. Two new abstract layers namely Common platform layer and virtualization layer can be added at the top and bottom of a preset Infrastructure as a Service architecture. Our proposed IOT virtualization can be applicable in a random topology scenario which makes possible of the flow-sensors´ resources to be shared, establishment of multi operational sensor networks and escalation of the reach ability under the same platform without establishing any further physical networks. Flow-sensor achieved 39% more reach ability than the typical sensors in an ideal scenario and even better results are possible from the amount of packets generation and simulation time viewpoint for larger scale networks.
