SDN-based gateway architecture for electromagnetic nano-networks

Electromagnetic nano-communication has increasing attention in recent years. Several developments have been achieved the fabrication, communication and management of various nano-network devices serving potential applications ranging from software-defined metamaterials, wireless robotic materials body-centric communication. Such need uplink downlink between deployed external macro-world or Internet through nano-interfaces. As a result, heterogeneous their interoperability different nano-things become new challenges for In this regard, dynamic, flexible distributed micro/nano-gateways can accommodate such sustainable issues make fully operational, regardless adopted application domain protocols used Network functions virtualization networking technologies altogether overcome these challenges. This article proposes SDN-based architecture software module micro/nano-gateway. The proposed converts data formats traditional network domains allowing nano-devices to be linked Internet. A prototype is built, performance algorithm evaluated based on two scenarios; single tenant multitenant. result shows effect total number connected packets sent by each device average round-trip processing delay overall throughput
