Abstract

With the growth of open source initiatives and software-defined networks, the computer networks are leaving from a scenario where the services and infrastructure ecosystem was closed and proprietary and now is open and free. However, this advance seems not to be true for wireless networks, which remain closed and proprietary. In this context, this paper proposes a mobility management in software-defined network. The proposal is implemented on a testbed OpenFlow / IEEE 802.11 and the evaluation is done using metrics QoE (Quality of Experience).
