Joint Minimization of Spectrum and Power in Impairment-Aware Elastic Optical Networks

Flexible-grid elastic optical networks (EONs) are widely considered as the future of next generation optical transport networks. Depleting spectral resources and increasing power consumption are two critical bottlenecks of EONs. In this paper, we propose a novel impairment-aware resource allocation...
