Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new technology advancement aimed at physically separating the control plane from the data plane which forwards packets, in order to improve programmability, scalability and performance of the network, as well as ease of management of the system. It has become necessary to adopt SDN which brings about the concept of logical centralization of network management and control in order to better support rapid growth in volume of data generated and transmitted in mobile cellular system. The needs of users has also changed from basic voice and short message services to high quality audio and video streaming. Evolution of Internet of Things is expected to increase the strain on the cellular systems as well. Adoption of proposed SDN architecture will not only increase throughput but also reduce latency in the system.
