Iterative configuration in elastic optical networks [Invited]

Paper i proceeding, 2020

A general dynamic resource allocation scheme is introduced, which iteratively reconfigures an elastic optical network according to traffic dynamism and service diversity. As an application example, the scheme is employed for impairment-aware power-efficient resource allocation in a short-haul metro elastic optical network to demonstrate a typical 5% power plus service penalty for compensating bandwidth limitations compared with the corresponding limitless counterpart.
