Abstract

Over the past few years, we have seen the spread of wireless networks in institutions, businesses, and private homes. Their wide variety, market availability, and ease of implementation have made this wireless technology more popular than wired networks. Nevertheless, enterprises are still demanding better quality of service to meet the needs of sensitive applications and avoid data loss. The SDN approach provides the ability to manage QoS dynamically via a controller. In this paper, we developed a secure model based on dynamic access control and the detection of unreliable access points. We also proposed QoS management in a wireless network by adopting the SDN approach to address connection problems and efficiently utilize resources. By employing these tools and techniques, we can narrow down all possible options to one single best choice. By comparing the results, our model validates its effectiveness in minimizing latency, jitter, packet loss, and transaction delay and offers a good opinion score.
