In this paper, we investigate power-efficient directed preconfigured cycles (p-Cycles) for
asymmetric traffic protection in elastic optical networks (EONs) against single link failure …

By using virtualization technology, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) decouples the
traditional Network Functions (NFs) from dedicated hardware, which allows the software to …

Cross-phase modulation (XPM) is considered one of the key factors for the quality-of-
transmission (QoT) degradation in elastic optical networks (EONs) with mixed line rates …

In order to address the problems of spectrum fragmentation and high redundancy of
protection resources in the pre‐configured cycle (P‐cycle) protection, a genetic P‐cycle …

The increasing popularity of telecommunication networks and their ubiquitous support for
our every-day activities impose their high performance and uninterrupted operation. It might …

In the context of energy wide-area transmission and large-scale access of distributed
renewable energy, to improve the elasticity of the grid, Jiangsu Province has established a …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) are able to provide high spectrum utilization efficiency due
to flexibility in resource assignment. In translucent EONs, by employing regenerators and …

Flexible optical network is promising to accommodate high-capacity demands in next-
generation networks. To ensure uninterrupted communication, existing lightpath …

Due to high spectral efficiency and flexibility of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM) technology, OFDM-based optical grids/clouds are fast replacing WDM grids/clouds …

As the increasing traffic patterns show asymmetric feature, directed pre-configured-cycle (p-
cycle) has indicated the ability of better protection in elastic optical networks (EONs). In this …
