IoT environments are constrained by various factors, including object address, battery, network bandwidth, and computing power. We propose a system to manage mobility by applying an SDN (Software Defined Networking) centralized management method to effectively solve the problems caused by moving IoT terminals. The SDN used in this paper is programmable, which facilitates its scalability as well as its ability to manage various IoT terminals. in this paper, we propose a mobility architecture using SDN for IoT, and design as well as implement a system based on it.
