Spectrum Reconstruction Algorithm based on Resource Partition Allocation in Elastic Optical Networks

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of spectrum fragment in elastic optical networks, a spectrum reconstruction algorithm based on resource partition allocation is proposed in this paper. Services are classified according to the different frequency of the services that occupy different number of frequency slots in the networks. Region division of spectrum resources is made according to the type of services and services are allocated in the corresponding spectrum partitions. When defragmenting in the networks, we reconstruct the spectrum for different regions with comprehensively considering the factors in time domain and frequency domain, integrating current resources and preventing the generation of spectrum fragment in the future. Simulation results show that the algorithm can reduce the degree of network fragmentation and reduce traffic blocking.
