  An Intelligent Framework for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks using SDN Architecture  
  Authors : Balamurugan .V

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is one of the rapid growing areas in the domain of networking technologies that offer various facilities like road safety, providing information about the traffic conditions, weather forecast conditions and events like accident happened on roadside. At present, VANET architecture has not been built with vendor independence and flexibility to be programmable directly without affecting the forwarding operations of data plane. In this paper, the importance of Software Defined Networking (SDN) in VANETs and its deployment using OpenFlow protocol in VANET architecture are discussed. A novel framework is provided for SDN to be employed over VANETs for the future enhancement of vehicular ad-hoc networks.

The future work has to be done in fallback mechanism which would be a key feature that must be provided to apply the SDN concept into mobile wireless scenarios since the nodes are always unstable. Transmission power control should be made as a provision in the services which are offered by Software-Defined VANET. In case of partial SDN controller connectivity loss, where only a subset of mobile nodes loses communication to the controller, remaining nodes should be able to continue functioning.
