Abstract
Software defined wireless networking is regarded as an emerging technology to enhance spectrum efficiency and improve the overall network performance. In this paper, we summarise the special issue on recent advances in software defined wireless networking. Specifically, this special issue publishes
Highlights
With the successful deployment of Wi-Fi and wireless cellular networks as well as advances in lightweight handheld devices, the number of wireless subscriptions is increasing exponentially leading to exponential increase in data transfer
Advances in wireless networking technology allows smart objects/things to connect to the Internet making Internet of Things [1]
Recent studies have shown that almost all usable wireless spectrum bands are already allocated to some service providers or government bodies for long time and vast geographic area [2]
Summary
With the successful deployment of Wi-Fi and wireless cellular networks as well as advances in lightweight handheld devices, the number of wireless subscriptions is increasing exponentially leading to exponential increase in data transfer. There are different approaches for enhancing the spectrum such as opportunistic spectrum access using spectrum underlay and overlay [2], cognitive radio network [3], cognitive radio to network radio [4], software defined wireless networking [5,6] and wireless virtualization [7] for different applications including cognitive radio enabled vehicular networking [8] and dynamic spectrum access in smart grid [9].
