Abstract
Software Defined Networks (SDN) have been proposed for use in applications of the Internet of Things (IoT), termed as software-defined IoT (SD-IoT) network, because of the popularity and capability of mobile devices being used for networking in relatively large areas. However, a single controller in SDN has a limited request-processing capability, so a distributed control plane with multiple physical controllers has been used to achieve scalability and reliability for supporting the IoT applications. Accordingly, the data plane of an SDN is partitioned into multiple domains, and each controller just takes over one. When considering both delays and loads of requests to the controllers, a partitioning problem arises. It is required to consider the distributions of flow paths, since inter-domain flow paths will create an extra load of requests to the controllers. In this paper, we investigate the partitioning problem in SD-IoT networks. Since uploading sensing data through the IoT gateways are non-uniform, we utilize a hypergraph to model the relationship between the spatial events and the gateways in IoT for urban sensing. We propose a Partitioning Algorithm for Software-defined IoT Network (PASIN) to partition the SDN by considering both delays and loads of requests from the flow paths. Our extensional simulations verify the effectiveness of our proposed approach.
