A 5G Radio-Light SDN Architecture for Wireless and Mobile Network Access in Buildings

The Internet of Radio-Light architecture provides both direct WLAN type access to the Internet using 5G RAN as well as access to the Internet via Mobile Networks using a 5G mmWave and VLC Radio Access Network (RAN) within buildings. A SDN is used to manage the various different packet flows between the RAN, the Internet Interface and the Mobile Network User and Control plane interfaces for SmartPhone, Tablet PCs, HDTVs and Virtual Reality headsets within buildings.
