Cover Story: Smart cities usually employ wireless mesh networks (WMN) to extend their communication range. However, such large-scale IoT deployments may face several network challenges related to the existing network characteristics, e.g., areas with dynamic network changes. Named-data networking (NDN) can enhance IoT performance, through the content naming scheme and in-network caching, but it necessitates adaptability to wireless connectivity conditions. In this study, we target efficient NDN communication in terms of performance (i.e., delay), evaluating and discussing the benefits provided by (i) a dynamic SDN-based solution that integrates the NDN operation with the routing decisions of a WMN routing protocol; and (ii) a static one based on clustering of real WMN quality measurements.
