Utilizing Software Defined Wireless Network to Improve Ship Area Network Performance

Abstract

Translate Article

In this paper, we combined Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) and software defined wireless network (SDWN) to apply in the next generation ship area network (SAN). We introduced network controller policy and resource pool to reduce network delay and achieve high performance. We sketch out changes and extensions to controller platforms, and wireless AP stations to enable software defined wireless networks. The complete design of a SDWN architecture using SOTDMA is an exciting avenue for future ship area network. Our evaluation result shows that for one wireless AP station can obtain the expected 3 Mbps throughput.
