Abstract:
This paper provides an overview of the current LTE architecture and the proposed solutions to integrate Software Defined Network (SDN) technology. The integration of SDN into mobile networks become Software Defined Mobile Network (SDMN), which provides new benefits such as dynamic and efficient caching. Firstly, the paper proposes the integration of SDN in LTE networks on disruptive approach that replaces current mobile transport with SDN based network. Secondly, the benefits of SDN integration to provide optimized content caching is presented. This paper presents a concrete advantage of SDMN for content delivery. Thus, the paper describes the benefits from operator and end user points of view based on a simple scenario of content delivery using dynamic caching reallocation.
