This invention introduces a novel cloud-based, Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture for delivering content efficiently over wireless networks. The architecture divides the wireless network into multiple layers of interconnected cloud elements, each comprising separate data plane and control plane components. By localizing data storage and computation at the edge (Radio Access Network) and decoupling the data and control functions, the system enhances user experience with faster content access, reduced latency, and optimized network resource usage. It enables intelligent selection of content delivery paths and supports seamless user mobility across different radio access technologies such as LTE, Wi-Fi, and 5G.

In multi-source power systems, identifying which source is powering a given load is difficult and typically relies on expensive, tamperable sensors. Current techniques lack reliability and scalability. A more secure, low-cost, and accurate method is needed to determine the active power source and analyze load behavior without depending on invasive hardware.
Traditional wireless communication architectures operate as monolithic systems with centralized control, leading to inefficient content delivery, delayed user response times, and poor utilization of available network resources. Additionally, the lack of proximity between users and network storage/computation units increases content access latency. As wireless networks evolve to support rich media and user mobility, there is an urgent need for a modular, distributed, and intelligent content delivery architecture that brings cloud capabilities closer to the user and enhances scalability, performance, and manageability.
A conceptual prototype was designed with simulated RAN and core cloud elements. Control and data plane separation was implemented using SDN principles, and optimizer nodes were configured for local content caching and delivery. The system demonstrated reduced latency, efficient mobility support, and load-aware routing in network simulation scenarios. It validates the feasibility of deploying the architecture in a real-world wireless content delivery network.
