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 …

Bandwidth fragmentation, a serious issue in elastic optical networks (EONs), can be
suppressed by proper management in order to enhance the accommodated traffic demands …

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 …

In the latest generation of optical fiber systems, broadband telecommunication network
access with ultrahigh speed services is almost realized by passive optical network (PON) …

The quality-of-transmission (QoT) degradation due to the dispersion effect in longer
lightpaths is higher than that of shorter lightpaths in a dispersion uncompensated network …

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 …

This paper proposes a spectrum allocation scheme based on highest modulation-first last fit
(LF) for elastic optical networks in order to suppress the call blocking in the network. The …

The evolution of Internet and communication systems is exponentially increasing the
complexity in communication networks. This paved the way for the incorporation of artificial …

This book presents an in-depth treatment of routing and wavelength assignment for optical
networks, and focuses specifically on quality-of-service and fault resiliency issues. It reports …

The degradation of quality-of-transmission (QoT) due to the dispersion effect is a critical
issue in elastic optical networks (EONs). To satisfy the required quality of transmission, a …
