Elastic optical network (EON) is a new technology used for virtualisation of optical networks. In this Letter, a new linear formulation with protection is proposed for the design of EON networks with several virtual optical networks (VONs). The mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation integrates the concepts of bandwidth squeezing, grooming and modulation format, and allows different protection capability in each VON. The proposed MILP provides efficient survivability results and resource savings (in terms of the spectrum) for a complete design of EON with virtualisation.
In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid strategy that combines mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation with different alternative routing approaches that is capable of solving, simultaneously, the routing, modulation format and spectrum assignment problem in the design of elastic optical networks. We extend our proposal to a path-link formulation that, although it is not guaranteed to find the optimal solution, it has shown reasonable solutions within inferior simulation time, allowing it to be used in not very short networks. We also compare our proposal with another MILP formulation and three adapted heuristics, all available in the literature. The results show the benefits of our proposal considering diverse simulation scenarios and different number of modulation formats over 19 realistic networks in terms of simulation run time and maximum number of used set of slots.
Os avanços na tecnologia de transmissão óptica de dados permitiram o grande crescimento da internet e de serviços exigentes em largura de banda. O surgimento das redes baseadas em Multiplexação por divisão de frequência ortogonal (OFDM) abriram a possibilidade de se aumentar a eficiência espectral de uma rede através da resolução do problema de roteamento e alocação de espectro (RSA). Neste trabalho, foram implementadas duas heurísticas de RSA que consideram diferentes formatos de modulação disponíveis (RMSA). Simulações foram feitas para diversas redes, usando as heurísticas, em condições de tráfego incremental. Os resultados mostraram que a heurística de alocação por balanceamento de carga (BMLM) tendeu a apresentar menor taxa de bloqueio nos períodos iniciais, quando havia apenas um formato de modulação disponível, mas apresentou maior taxa de bloqueio, a longo prazo, relativa à heurística por alocação de caminho mais curto (SPMLM). Quando mais formatos de modulação estavam disponíveis, o BMLM apresentou pior desempenho na maioria dos casos, mas conseguiu melhores resultados em algumas redes.
