Flexgrid technology is now considered to be a promising solution for future high-speed
network design. In this context, we need a tutorial that covers the key aspects of elastic …

Interconnection networks provide communication among processors, memory modules, and
other devices in parallel computer systems. The number of stages, interconnection topology …

The rapid growth in communications and internet has changed our way of life, and our
requirement for communication bandwidth. Optical networks can enable us to meet the …

Increasing traffic in the optical backbone network has made it incumbent upon operators to
extend the use of optical spectrum beyond the C-band. In this work we estimate network …

Spectrally-spatially elastic optical networks (SS-EONs) have been considered nowadays to
overcome the physical barrier and enhance the transport capacity, where enhancing …

Network traffic is growing exponentially, which has increased the onus on network operators
to expand their network spectral resources beyond the C band. This work explores the effect …

Abstract Elastic Optical Networks have been the most promising technology in the next
generation of transport networks due to their flexibility of spectrum assignment. Routing and …

This paper analyses the performances of major conventional spectrum allocation policies in
elastic optical networks, in terms of time complexity, blocking probability and contiguous …

Dispersion in optical fiber degrades the quality of signal in optical networks. Although the
use of dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) reduces the effects of dispersion, it is expensive …

This paper addresses one of the main tasks in transparent static elastic optical networks
(EONs), known as the routing, modulation level, and spectrum assignment (RMLSA) …
