CONTROLLER FOR, AND A METHOD OF PROCESSING DATA OVER, A LOW-POWER, WIRELESS SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKING, SDN, ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The present subject-matter provide a controller for a low-power, wireless, software defined networking, SDN, architecture. The controller comprises a processor and a memory storing instructions for execution by the processor. The instructions, when executed by the processor cause the controller to implement: a control layer arranged to detect a communication type for processing an application over the network, and translate the communication type into a plurality of phases chosen from a pre-defined set of phases to configure the nodes of the network to respond to the application according to the communication type.
