Towards adoption of software defined wireless backhaul networks

The flexibility of future wireless network architectures is aimed at allowing more innovation, reducing complexity and improving service offerings. Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been identified as an enabler for this adoption. From an implementation perspective, we provide a description of use cases and a framework overview for its implementation. This framework and the future work identified serve as pointers for further research projects in Software Defined Wireless Network (SDWN).
