        abstract = {Wireless networks face unique challenges in efficiently managing network traffic due to dynamic topology changes, varying channel conditions, and resource constraints. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) offers promising solutions by decoupling the control plane from the data plane, enabling centralized control and programmability. This research investigates the application of SDN-enabled control plane mechanisms to enhance network traffic management in wireless environments. By leveraging SDN's flexibility and programmability, we aim to optimize routing decisions, mitigate congestion, and improve Quality of Service (QoS) for wireless network users. Our study explores novel algorithms, protocols, and architectures tailored to the specific characteristics of wireless networks, aiming to achieve efficient traffic management while considering factors such as mobility, energy efficiency, and reliability. This research contributes to advancing the state-of-the-art in wireless network management by harnessing the capabilities of SDN for improved traffic handling and resource utilization.},
