Abstract: To provide ubiquitous Internet access under the explosive increase of applications and data traffic, the current network architecture has become highly heterogeneous and complex, making network management a challenging task. To this end, software-defined networking (SDN) has been proposed as a promising solution. In the SDN architecture, the control plane and the data plane are decoupled, and the network infrastructures are abstracted and managed by a centralized controller. With SDN, efficient and flexible network control can be achieved, which potentially enhances network performance. To harvest the benefits of SDN in wireless networks, the software-defined wireless network (SDWN) architecture has been recently considered. In this paper, we first analyze the applications of SDN to different types of wireless networks. We then discuss several important technical aspects of performance enhancement in SDN-based wireless networks. Finally, we present possible future research directions of SDWN.

Abstract: A software defined radio (SDR) is a modern radio communication system that can be reconfigured on-the-fly. In this paper, we describe a project on introducing SDR to the Bachelor of Wireless Engineering (BWE) curriculum at Auburn University. Our efforts consist of three intertwined thrusts: (i) We offer well-defined SDR senior design projects, as well as research projects for students supported by the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) program; (ii) We also use SDRrelated experiments as term projects to enhance the existing wireless engineering courses at Auburn; (iii) We are developing an SDR laboratory course based on the experience and feedback from the SDR projects, and will test-offer the lab course in the near future.
