Virtual openflow-based SDN Wi-Fi access point

With cloud services and mobile devices remodeling how we live, work and play, people expect Wi-Fi to be both fast and reliable. For ICT, facing the fast growing mobility demand needs a more agile WLAN. Software Defined Networking (SDN) offers programmability, a logically centralized control model, and a flow-based paradigm that is perfectly designed for highly scalable mobile and Wi-Fi networks. Our approach provides an agile and cost-effective communications platform for addressing these challenges, while attaining the high degree of scalability, security, and flexibility needed to support a diverse complement of services. In our work we developed a solution that allows clients to instantiate and deploy virtual OpenFlow Wi-Fi Access Points (AP) and virtual SDN controllers on the fly. By this technic, virtual instances are isolated and fully scalable for creating our SDN. Our goal is to create an architecture that is both ergonomic and flexible in order to meet the need for connection and client mobility.
