Fairness enhanced dynamic routing and spectrum allocation in elastic optical networks

IET Communications, 2016
The finer spectrum granularity unit in elastic optical networks makes wider spectrum services more likely to be restricted by the constraints of spectrum continuity and spectrum contiguity (2SC), leading to higher blocking probability (BP). Obviously, it would deteriorate the fairness among multi‐granularity services.
