Abstract
The tremendous growth in communication technology is shaping a hyper-connected network where billions or connected devices are producing a huge volume of data. Cellular and mobile network is a major contributor towards this technology shift and require new architectural paradigm to provide low latency, high performance in a resource constrained environment. 5G technology deployment with fully IP-based connectivity is anticipated by 2020. However, there is no standard established for 5G technology and many efforts are being made to establish a unified 5G stander. In this context, variant technology such as Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function virtualization (NFV) are the best candidate. SDN dissociate control plane from data plane and network management is done on the centralized control plane. In this paper, a survey on state of the art on the 5G integration with the SDN is presented. A comprehensive review is presented for the different integrated architectures of 5G wireless network and the generalized solutions over the period 2010–2016. This comparative analysis of the existing solutions of SDN-based cellular network (5G) implementations provides an easy and concise view of the emerging trends by 2020.
