SDN based ICN architecture for the future integration network

As the number of users exponentially grows in the 5G mobile wireless environment, mobility support, flexibility reaction and integration are the major changes for the future satellite and terrestrial integrated network. Information-centric networking (ICN) and software defined networking (SDN) are considered to be the promising techniques to solve these problems. In this paper, a SDN-based ICN architecture for the satellite terrestrial integration network is proposed to achieve seamless communication and provide assured quality of service (QoS). Particularly, the features characterized the proposed architecture, advantages and the challenges when ICN and SDN are applied to the future satellite and terrestrial integrated network are discussed.
