Summary: | Software Defined Networking (SDN) is the best choice in establishing a software controlled inter-domain network. Convergence of different Wireless link technologies bring the mobile users to choose the network being in any geographical location. IEEE 802.21 is such a standard for exchanging networking information for connecting with the network being at any region in the world. Integrated with SDN wireless network this functionality of IEEE 802.21 standard can discover programmable network services with profound resource utilization. However, the information exchange should circulate through a reliable source. Hence, the security analysis of IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) mechanism for Software Defined Wireless Network (SDWN) is the primary concern of this research work. This study, conducts architectural and functional analysis of MIH integrated with SDWN interface for mobility management of the wireless nodes. The outcome specifies a possible integration with future deployment opportunities in information exchange of IEEE 802.21 MIH for programmable network devices. |
