Abstract
The space division multiplexing elastic optical network (SDM-EONs) can effectively supply the large-capacity for the current optical network. If a link failure occurs, it will bring huge data losses or disruptions for the operator. We propose a survivable multipath fragmentation-sensitive fragmentation-aware routing, core and spectrum assignment (SM-FSFA-RSCA) scheme to solving the problem of survivability of the request in SDM-EONs and spectrum fragmentation that caused by the dynamic allocation and release of spectrum resources. We design a fragmentation-sensitive fragmentation metric (FSFM) to estimate the spectrum fragmentation in the established lightpaths, and design a dynamic routing and core selection strategy for the request to control spectrum fragmentation in the core according to FSFM. We consider survivable multipath routing strategy for saving spectrum resources, each path of the multipath can be used as a working path or a protection path. In addition, for spectrum allocation, a survivable multipath with shared spectrum allocation strategy is adopted to maximize the utilization of frequency resources. The simulation results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper significantly reduces the bandwidth blocking probability,fragmentation ratio and also improves the spectrum utilization.
