N2 - Software Defined Networking (SDN) is emerging as a key technology to deal with the ever increasing network management burden created by our increasingly interconnected world. Wireless sensor network (WSN) are part of this interconnection, enabling to connect the physical world to the cyber world of the Internet and its networks. This connection of physical items, “Things”, to the Internet in the form of an Internet of Things is creating many new challenges for the management of the Internet networks. SDN moves away from a distributed management approach that has been at the core of wireless sensor networks since their inception and introduces a centralised view and control of a network. We believe that the SDN concept as well as the general compute virtualisation enabled through infrastructure as a service can offer the required flexible management and control of the network of Things. While the application of SDN to WSN has already been proposed, a comprehensive architecture for Software Defined Wireless Sensor Networks (SDWSN) is currently missing. This paper provides a survey of related work considering both SDN and centralised non-SDN approaches to network management and control, examines the challenges and opportunities for SD-WSNs, and provides an architectural proposal for SD-WSN.
