Dynamic Activation and Assignment of SDN Controllers in LEO Satellite Constellations
Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a promising approach for managing traditional satellite communication. This enhances opportunities for future services, including integrating satellite and terrestrial networks. In this paper, we have developed an SDN-enabled framework for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, incorporating the OpenFlow protocol, all within an OMNeT++ simulation environment. Dynamic controller assignment is one of the most significant challenges for large LEO…
