Abstract

This chapter continues with the discussion of network virtualization implementations and enabling technologies applicable within the context of wireless virtualization. More specifically, recent developments in software-defined networking (SDN) technologies are presented. Overall, SDN concepts are used to relocate functionalities from hardware into software by providing configurable interfaces. This increases the programmability of the hardware and facilitates the implementation of virtualization.
