This paper presents the work developed in the MSc. thesis entitled ”Resource Allocation in Space-Division Multiplexing-Based Elastic Optical Networks” which explores the resource allocation problem in Space-Division Multiplexing-based Elastic Optical Networks (SDM-EON). The proposed algorithms jointly address spectrum fragmentation, modulation format, crosstalk, and energy consumption. Results demonstrate that our algorithms increase the acceptance of requests for lightpath establishment while handling energy consumption, spectrum fragmentation, energy consumption, load balance, and crosstalk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
