This paper considers distance adaptive dynamic routing and spectrum assignment (RSA) for
elastic optical networks with shared backup path protection (SBPP). Efficient heuristic …

A new era for optical networks has been started by the development of transceivers based
on digital signal processing and operating multilevel modulation formats with coherent and …

We consider an elastic optical network and study the static routing and spectrum assignment
(RSA) problem aiming to minimize the maximum number of frequency slots required to …

In the context of dynamic lightpath service provisioning, this paper evaluates the impact of
the colorless, directionless, and contentionless (CDC) features of reconfigurable optical …

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 …

Flexi-grid elastic optical networks (EONs) provide a promising infrastructure for meeting the
high-bandwidth and low-latency requirements of interconnecting datacenters. Since failures …

We evaluate the performance of optical network designs using relatively few switch nodes at
which wavelength conversion and electronic regeneration is possible. A simple heuristic for …

The 5G technology is providing totally new opportunities to mobile communications and their
related applications, fostering the creation of service ecosystems and business models that …

For the past several years, traffic especially, Internet traffic has been increased tremendously
and this growth demands for a high-speed communication network such as optical network …

We propose a novel method to assess physical layer potentialities of core optical networks
aimed at finding solutions that better exploit the installed equipment. We focus on the use of …
