Energy Efficient Communication Protocols with Reduced Control Messages in Software Defined Wireless Sensor Networks

While the Internet of Things (IoT) is already found everywhere around us from smart homes and healthcare to wearables and smart parking, it is expected that IoT will change everyone's lifestyle drastically soon. Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 are now possible by the combination of Industrial IoT, the internet of systems and cyber physical systems. The immense growth in industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 is driving the need for innovation in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However since there debut WSNs have always been conceived to be application specific.

Software Defined Network (SDN) is one architecture with flexibility dynamics and low management cost it is a potential computing and networking framework that enables global network control by separating the network intelligence from the data layers
