Abstract

Seamless mobility is one of the most crucial feature of telecommunication industry. Researches are going on in full swing to deal with this feature in most efficient manner. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is seen as the next generation paradigm which can facilitate seamless mobility across heterogeneous networks by segregating the control plane and data plane functionalities, and logically centralizing the control plane. In this paper, we propose a simplified Layer 2 handover mechanism for enterprise wireless networks, based on SDN framework. We present a network assisted L2 handover method using the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol and SDN concepts, to achieve seamless mobility across heterogeneous networks.
