One of the newest technologies to qualify transmission capacity of optical backbone
networks is Space Division Multiplexing with Elastic Optical Networks (SDM-EONs). SDM …

Space-division multiplexing elastic optical networks (SDM-EONs) with multi-core fibers
(MCFs) are expected to meet the exponentially increasing demand for traffic. However, it is …

In this paper, we consider a multicore fiber (MCF)-enabled elastic optical network, in which
certain nodes have a lower trust level than the others, and study how to provision lightpaths …

Protection is a key issue in optical networks, mainly in spacial division multiplexing (SDM)
elastic optical networks (EONs) as these handle the increasing amount of heterogeneous …

In this paper, we have proposed two energy-efficient heuristics:(i) CMDE-RSCA (crosstalk-
aware), and (ii) FMDE-RSCA (fragmentation-aware) to address the issues of inter-core …

In Elastic Optical Networks with Space-Division Multiplexing (EON-SDM), dynamic allocation
and de-allocation can generate spectrum fragmentation, increasing the blocking probability …

Optical fiber is the most adopted communication technology on the Internet backbone.
However, it is expected that the transmission capacity of the existing optical fiber will reach …

The Space Division Multiplexed-Elastic Optical Network (SDM-EON) has many parallel
spatial channels, increasing the spectral capacity manifolds. The routing constraints in SDM …

The effects of crosstalk and fragmentation cause unnecessary blocking in space-division
multiplexing-based elastic optical networks. A routing, modulation, core, and spectrum …

In elastic optical networks (EONs) employing weakly coupled single-mode multi-core fibers
(MCFs), inter-core crosstalk (XT) can affect significantly the network performance …
