Bandwidth fragmentation, a serious issue in elastic optical networks (EONs), can be
suppressed by proper management in order to enhance the accommodated traffic demands …

The rapid growth in communications and internet has changed our way of life, and our
requirement for communication bandwidth. Optical networks can enable us to meet the …

Traffic prediction and utilization of past information are essential requirements for intelligent
and efficient management of resources, especially in optical data center networks (ODCNs) …

To support the fifth-generation bandwidth-hungry applications, such as the Internet of
Things, virtual reality, augmented reality, and cloud computing, elastic optical networks have …

Over the past few decades, the demand for the capacity and reliability of optical networks
has continued to grow. In the meantime, optical networks with larger knowledge scales have …

In elastic optical networks (EONs), a major obstacle to using the spectrum resources
efficiently is the spectrum fragmentation. In the literature, several defragmentation …

For addressing the problems of high bandwidth blocking probability and low spectrum
utilization caused by spectrum fragmentation in elastic optical networks (EONs), a dynamic …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) provide flexibility to assign wide range of spectral resources
to the connection requests. In this manuscript, we address two issues related to spectrum …

Abstract Fragmentation in Elastic Optical Networks is an issue caused by isolated, non-
aligned, and non-contiguous frequency slots that cannot be used to allocate new connection …

Abstract Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) allow the channel spacing and the spectral width
of an optical signal to be dynamically adjusted and hence have become an important …
