Abstract
Management of spectrum fragmentation in optical transport networks typically requires after the fact defragmentation. This paper proposes a probabilistic approach that mitigates the creation of fragmentation by reducing spectral waste and increasing the expected number of allowable additional lightpaths. The proposed approach is simulated and compared against both first fit as well as fragmentation aware spectrum assignment methods, and the comparison results are provided.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the Journal includes advances in the state-of-the-art of optical networking science, technology, and engineering. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, analyses, and economic studies) and practical contributions (including optical networking experiments, prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. Subareas of interest include the architecture and design of optical networks, optical network survivability and security, software-defined optical networking, elastic optical networks, data and control plane advances, network management related innovation, and optical access networks. Enabling technologies and their applications are suitable topics only if the results are shown to directly impact optical networking beyond simple point-to-point networks.
