Abstract

Limited energy resources of sensor nodes are one of the main weaknesses of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It has long been recognized that conventional methods of data transmission in WSNs are energy inefficient. However, implementation of coordinated, energy-aware routing and power control strategies among sensor nodes is difficult due to distributed network control. Software defined networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm which overcomes this issue by decoupling the network control and data planes. As an emerging technology, originally envisioned for wired networks, SDN cannot be expected to completely replace traditional WSNs in near future. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate how to save energy in partially deployed software-defined WSN (SD-WSN). In particular, the paper considers the scenario of WSN deployed for monitoring set of targets with known locations, and analyses how the incremental SDN deployment and various power- mode switching policies could affect the WSN lifetime.
