“…For example, in [23] a hybrid SDN is presented, combining the flexibility of SDN with the robustness of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) algorithm. A multipath routing protocol that integrates also load balancing and admission control is proposed in [24], while the network use is maximized in [25] solving a bandwidth-delay constrained problem.…”

Ultra-Dense Network (UDN) deployment is considered a key element to achieve the requested capacity in future fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. Backhaul networks in UDNs are formed by heterogeneous links with multi-hop connections and must handle massive traffic. Backhauling in future 5G networks may represent the capacity bottleneck. Therefore, there is the need for efficient and flexible routing schemes able to handle the dynamism of the traffic load in capacity-limited networks. Toward this goal, the emerging Software-Defined Network (SDN) paradigm provides an efficient solution, transferring the routing operation from the data plane switches to a central controller, thus achieving more flexibility, efficiency, and faster convergence time in comparison to conventional networks. This paper proposes and investigates an SDN-approach for an efficient routing in a capacity-limited backhaul network that carries data and control traffic of a heterogeneous UDN. The routing algorithm is centralized in the SDN controller and two different types of traffic flow are considered: data and control plane coordination traffic. The goal is to reduce or even to avoid the amount of traffic that the backhaul network is not able to support, distributing in a fair way the eventual lack of bandwidth among different access points. Simulation results show that with the considered approach the performance significantly improves, especially when there is an excess of traffic load in the network. Moreover, thanks to the SDN-based design, the network can reconfigure the traffic routing depending on the changing conditions.

The imminent wireless technologies are demanding fusion of several networks with diverse technologies. A convenient user device for such an environment is the multihomed host, which is capable of making use of simultaneous multiple connections of heterogeneous networks and smartly distributing/receiving data among them. The aim of this work is to develop a mechanism for assessing the multihoming concept and to propose a system model for increasing its applicability. The proposed model provided a novel user-centric scheme for multihoming for multi-radio access technologies (multi-RAT). It is considered an evolution of traffic offloading for gaining more capacity, higher data rates, and real-time services. This work assumes data classifications, evaluates and ranks the available connections, and utilizes the application data in an unequal load balance scheme. This is achieved by analyzing the performance of three of the most widely used alternative-choice for multiple attributes decision making (MADM) methods. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP), along with a utility equation, is applied to the system model for unequal load balance solution. The proposed model is targeting an energy efficient mechanism which satisfies application needs. Moreover, it reveals an efficient transmission mechanism for a better quality of service, traffic management, and availability solutions. The simulation results show that the proposed system surpassed its former counterparts.

“…The main contribution of this paper is to propose a novel priority‐aware dynamic multi‐path routing algorithm from the perspective of the applications layer over SDN considering the classification of the link cost function. This paper differs from existing QoS architectures [3, 6, 7] because we offer an adaptive dynamic multi‐path computation framework that is combined with queues to prioritise the multimedia streams.…”

“…Recently, a dynamic multi‐path Internet resource management mechanism has been widely used over SDN, which can provide the best possible performance for their networks [8]. In [7], the authors proposed a system multi‐path routing with load balancing and admission control over SDN. However, the proposed system may have difficulty in guaranteeing the QoS of the high priority traffic due to the lack of routing calculations for the designated traffic.…”
