The separation of the data and control planes offers flexibility in future networks with SDMN by taking into account to the wireless access problem in complex radio environments. In this paper, we propose an efficient joint routing and resource allocation algorithm to minimize the cost based on power consumption while satisfying both throughput and delay requirement of the flows under a given capacity of links in night time traffic through SDMN. The power consumption is determined based on the number of active OpenFlow switches and active ports in the network. In the proposed joint algorithm, we put the selected network components to sleep mode in order to reduce overall network power consumption. The performances of the proposed algorithm are illustrated under different throughput constraints in various network topologies and scenarios in night-time traffic. © 2019 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPower efficiencyResource allocationRoutingSoftware defined mobile networkConference Object2-s2.0-8507588287810.1109/PIMRC.2019.890421710.1109/PIMRC.2019.8904217
