We propose a novel elastic optical path network where each specific bitrate signal uses its
own dedicated fixed grid and a slot-width-edge anchor frequency. Numerical evaluations …

We propose a novel elastic optical path network where each specific bitrate signal uses its
own dedicated fixed grid and one edge of its frequency grid is anchored at a specific …

We propose a novel routing and spectrum assignment algorithm that reserves exclusive
spectrum area for high bitrate signals. The aim of this study is to reduce the inherent …
