Improvement of the Handover and Quality of Service on Software Defined Wireless Networks

The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) is the business name given to the 802.11b and 802.11g IEEE standard by the WiFi Alliance, formerly known as Weca industry with more than 200 member companies dedicated to supporting the growth of wireless LANs. This standard is currently one of the most used standards in the world. The theoretical data rates of 802.11b are 11 Mb/s and 54 Mb/s for 802.11g. This article presents Handover's improvement performance and quality of service (QoS) parameters and they are: end-to-end delay, latency, jitter, lost packets, and Mean Opinion Score (MoS), under networks Wi-Fi with the help of the OMNeT 4.6 ++, by implementation of a new algorithm at the level of the SDN controller that allows handover management without breaking the connection by respecting the priority per class of traffic. The realization of this work is based on the intra-Wi-Fi mobility, that it is adopted by a macro mobility of level 3 and it is MIPv6 as well as it exploited the protocol of Voice over IP that it is SIP, and the implementation of SDN rules on the OpenFlow protocol.
