Abstract:
A SDN controlled Overlay Network. Embodiments disclosed herein relate to multi-RAT (Radio Access Technology) wireless communication network and more particularly to a SDN (Software Defined Networking) controlled network overlaid on a multi-RAT wireless communication network. Embodiments herein enhance relay functionality in wireless communication networks using overlay networks, wherein the overlay network is controlled and managed by a SDN (Software Defined Networking) controller.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for managing an overlay network in a wireless network, wherein the overlay network comprises of an AS (Application Server) ( 106 ), a packet handler ( 107 ), a DNS (Domain Name System) server ( 108 ), and a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server ( 109 ), the method comprising\n selecting at least one device ( 102 ) in the wireless network as a relay ( 102 b ,  102 c ) by a SDN (Software Defined Networking) controller ( 101 ) based on at least one of data transfer capability of the device ( 102 ) over an air interface, location of the device ( 102 ), battery life of the device ( 102 ), path loss as experienced by the device ( 102 ) towards at least one of a eNodeB ( 103 ) or another relay ( 102 b ) to which the device is connected; providing appropriate radio configuration to the relay ( 102 b,  102 c ) by the SDN controller ( 101 ), on selecting the device ( 102 ) as a relay ( 102 b,  102 c ); controlling association of at least one UE (User Equipment) ( 102 a ) with the relay ( 102 b,  102 c ) by the SDN controller ( 101 ) based on at least one of channel quality, QoS (Quality of Service) characteristics of data flow to and from the UE ( 102 a ), available optimal path between the UE ( 102 a ) and the relay ( 102 b,  102 c ), and load and transfer capability of the relay ( 102 b,  102 c ); and enabling communication over a supplementary radio link between the at least one UE ( 102 a ) and the relay ( 102 b,  102 c ) by the SDN controller ( 101 ).
