Abstract

The deployment of dense networks of Small Cells (SC) is one of the key components of 5G mobile networks and will pose several challenges to the backhaul network. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a key technique to cope with the increased management complexity of such heterogeneous deployments, helping in the task of achieving a system-wide network management, which includes the 5G mobile wireless backhaul. Therefore, it is fundamental to devise the tools for the evaluation of 5G backhauling SDN architectures. This paper presents WiseHAUL: an SDN-empowered Wireless Small Cell Backhaul testbed. We present the design considerations of WiseHAUL, deployed in the form of an hypercube mesh that combines heterogeneous wireless technologies with the final goal of conducting SDN research and experimentation. Preliminary experimental results serve to identify the main research challenges faced by canonical SDN management techniques in an all-wireless backhaul deployment, hence acting as key drivers for further redesign and testbed development towards hybrid SDN models.

WiseHAUL:基于sdn的无线小型蜂窝回程测试平台

密集小蜂窝网络(SC)的部署是5G移动网络的关键组成部分之一，将对回程网络提出若干挑战。软件定义网络(SDN)是应对这种异构部署日益增加的管理复杂性的关键技术，有助于实现包括5G移动无线回程在内的全系统网络管理任务。因此，设计评估5G回程SDN架构的工具至关重要。本文介绍了WiseHAUL:一个支持sdn的无线小蜂窝回程测试平台。我们介绍了WiseHAUL的设计考虑，它以超立方体网格的形式部署，将异构无线技术与进行SDN研究和实验的最终目标相结合。初步实验结果有助于确定全无线回程部署中规范SDN管理技术面临的主要研究挑战，从而成为进一步重新设计和混合SDN模型测试平台开发的关键驱动因素。
