Abstract

|
|
| To fulfill the emerging demands of mobile users, future networks need to support seamless connectivity. Flexible resource allocation that responds to dynamic trends of user demand and mobility can be achieved through dynamic backhauling that supports elastic routing to setup and teardown paths rapidly as users move and networks adapt. Fortunately, methods such as OpenFlow offer the necessary capabilities to enable such a paradigm. This paper investigates the suitability of such methods in supporting seamless connectivity. Specifically, herein we compare, on the basis of reconfigurability latency, three approaches for the use of OpenFlow for ultra-dynamic backhauling. Furthermore, we also consider the scalability of such approaches. The study conducted herein demonstrates the advantages of dynamic backhauling and provides initial strategies for the accomplishment thereof. |
