Abstract

The packet forwarding node selection is one of the main constraints in the Software Defined Network (SDN). To improve the network performance, the SDN controller has to choose the shortest and optimised path between source and destination in routine and emergency packet transmission. In e-health service, information of the emergency patient has to be transferred immediately to remote hospitals or doctors by using efficient packet routing approach in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). In WBAN, to improve the packet transmission, the optimal packet routing policy developed based on packets priority with the support of a greedy algorithm for SDN. The SDN Controller selects the forwarding node based on node propagation delay and available bandwidth between two forwarding nodes. The mesh network topology network created for implementation, implementation results are compared with existing research works. Finally, this algorithm implemented in our institution, Software defined communication testbed laboratory (SDCTestbed Lab) with the support of 13 Zodiac-Fx (Forwarding device), 2 Raspberry-Pi3 B+ Model (host) and Arduino kit (sensor node).
