High spectrum efficiency and fast restoration speed are highly desired for survivable elastic
optical networks (EONs). In this paper, we take the advantages of failure-independent path …

In this paper, we investigate power-efficient directed preconfigured cycles (p-Cycles) for
asymmetric traffic protection in elastic optical networks (EONs) against single link failure …

Fast recovery and minimum utilization of resources are the two main criteria for determining
the protection scheme quality. We address the problem of providing a hybrid protection …

The elastic optical network is one of the emerging technologies in the optical network
paradigm, and it has been highlighted by many researchers in the past few years. So far, a …

The concept of elasticity has been proposed in the design of next generation optical
networks in tackling the problem of efficient utilization of network resources and increasing …

This paper presents heuristics based on FIPP p-cycle as a solution for the protection
problem in elastic optical networks. The proposed algorithms employ failure independent …

This paper considers the p p-Cycle network protection technique in comparison with the ring
cover technique for elastic optical networks. We develop Integer Linear Programming …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) are able to provide high spectrum utilization efficiency due
to flexibility in resource assignment. In translucent EONs, by employing regenerators and …
