Abstract
A modern networking structure that employs software-based controllers to control and interact with primary hardware devices for directing the traffic on a network is called software-defined networking (SDN). It differs from the conventional network by creating a centralized control over the routing of data packets. Networks are widely used networks in which spontaneous network connectivity among the nodes is needed for communicating useful information quickly to the target audience. Nodes in ad hoc networks (AHN) down to function in an infrastructure-less environment can form a group among themselves freely and launch wireless multi-hop communication without any centralized access point. Every node can have direct communication among each other and be involved in relying on the data packet. Routing in AHN is difficult and has specific constraints over wireless transmission such as frequently changing topology, self-organizing nature, wireless link fluctuation, and resource constraint nature of nodes. Imposing SDN technology in designing routing protocols for various application needs of upcoming scenarios of AHN is crucial for improved network management and reducing the overall communication cost. SDN-based routing protocols shift the routing choices from basic network elements to the controller. This technique helps to identify the shortest route with minimum latency and to reduce the control packet exchange rapidly. This article first proposes the various network structures that rely on SDN technology for competent message transmission in mobile AHN and then presents a survey on SDN-based network routing protocols from different branches of AHN with the methodology used and advantages and disadvantages of each. This helps the researchers to enhance them further to meet the requirement of various application scenarios.
