“…In addition to the extension of the lifetime of the nodes in the MANET when the loading is distributed among the nodes, the results of the experiments conducted by Poularakis et al [ 24 ] show that the use of backup paths has been able to improve the performance of the networks. Poularakis et al [ 24 ] propose a hybrid routing method that allows the SDN controller to define the routes but also allows the nodes to make their own decision whether to follow that route or adapt to the current state of the network. This method is intended to be used by tactical networks, in which communications among the devices at a certain geographical area are more intense than those with squads in other areas.…”

“…However, these methods can handle networks with limited speed of nodes, which may be a dramatic limitation to these methods as survivors tend to flee the location of a disaster as fast as possible. Moreover, despite the ability of certain methods [ 19 , 24 ] to minimize the power consumption of MANETs by using the shortest possible paths, such aim can exhaust certain nodes in the MANET, which can affect the lifetime of these nodes, despite the extension of the network's lifetime. Thus, in order to maximize the chances to locate and save survivors, it is important to extend the lifetime of the MANET, taking into consideration maximizing the lifetime of each individual node in the network.…”

With the reliance of humans on mobile smart devices that have wireless communication, modules have significantly increased in recent years. Using these devices to communicate with the survivors during a disaster or its aftermath can significantly increase the chances of locating and saving them. Accordingly, a method is proposed in this study to extend the lifetime of the nodes in a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) while maintaining communications with the nearest base station (BS). Such a methodology allows the rapid establishment of temporary communications with these survivors, as restoring the complex infrastructure is a time-consuming process. The proposed method achieves the longer lifetime of the network by balancing the load throughout the nodes and avoids exhausting those with limited remaining energy. The proposed method has shown significant improvement in the lifetime of the MANET while maintaining similar Packet Delivery Rate (PDR) and route generation time, compared to existing methods.

“…In [7], the technology of SDN has been employed for the ad hoc sensor networks of flying, and a clustering structure with a clustered controller of SDN is constructed to realize hierarchical management and integrated dispatch. In [8], a flexible procedure has been presented, which could dynamically select to route under the controller's commands or make routing choices through a distributed approach. The mentioned studies demonstrate the possi-bility of employing SDN in ad hoc networks and its functionality aspects in tactical field networks.…”

Tactical ad hoc networks (TANET) accomplish the corresponding tasks via a hopeful device-to-device connection mechanism for data transmission and resource management without a centralized foundation. Software-defined networking (SDN) provides an evolution from the previous networks by decoupling the network control from data forwarding and providing a novel paradigm for network handling. Nevertheless, a SDN-based strategy in TANET leads to various novel problems since the primary construction cannot be employed in mobile ad hoc networks anymore. In this paper, a new SDN-based structure is constructed for TANET. Then, both delay and energy consumption (EC) are utilized to model the controller deployment and data-plane assignment problems, by which quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees are realized. Afterwards, mixed-integer programming (MIP) is adopted to solve the mentioned model. Finally, according to the experimental outcomes, it can be observed that the presented approach ensures the data-plane delay and optimizes the EC.

The energy limitation and frequent movement of the mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) nodes (i.e., devices) make the routing process very difficult. The multicast routing problem is one of the NP-complete problems. Therefore, the need for a new power-aware approach to select an optimum multicast path with minimum power consumption that can enhance the performance and increase the lifetime of MANET has become urgent. Software defined network (SDN) is a new technique that can solve many problems of the traditional networks by dividing the architecture into data part and control part. This paper presents three power-aware multicast routing strategies for MANET. First one called a Reactive Multicast routing strategy for cluster based MANET by using SDN (RMCMS), second one called proactive multicast routing strategy for cluster based MANET by using SDN (PMCMS) and third one represents modification of PMCMS called M-PMCMS. Moreover, it produces a new mathematical model to build a multicast tree with minimum power consumption and takes into account the remaining power in each node. All proposed multicast strategies operate based on this mathematical model and aim to maximize the MANET lifetime by exploiting the advantages of SDN and clustering concepts. They consider the multicast tree with minimum power consumption as an optimal one. The simulation results illustrated that RMCMS is better than PMCMS, M-PMCMS, and MAODV in terms of power consumption and network overhead while M-PMCMS is the best one in terms of dropped packets ratio (DPR) and average end to end (E2E) delay.
