Abstract

Abstract

Traffic split provisioning scheme leads to extra guard band and equipment ports occupation, which decreases the spectrum utilization and increases the energy consumption for elastic optical networks. To address the problem, a spectrum-aware traffic split-merge spectrum resource allocation strategy is proposed. When a new request comes, the total link spectrum consecutiveness for each path is calculated. And the spectral block with the highest spectrum consecutiveness is selected to transmit the request. If the number of frequency slots required by the request exceeds the size of any available spectral block in all paths, the demand is split into multiple sub-demands and allocates them into multiple spectral blocks with relatively higher spectrum consecutiveness. When an available spectral block which meets the requested number of frequency slots is detected on the transmission path, the sub-demands are merged. And spectrum consecutiveness is introduced in the decision criterion for the traffic merge operation. Simulation results indicate that the proposed strategy can significantly reduce the bandwidth blocking probability and save the energy consumption for the elastic optical networks.
