Abstract
High spectrum efficiency and fast restoration speed are highly desired for survivable elastic optical networks (EONs). In this paper, we take the advantages of failure-independent path-protecting preconfigured cycles (FIPP p -cycles) and investigate how to realize spectrum efficient resilience design with them. We first study the problem of offline service provisioning with FIPP p -cycles. We formulate an integer linear programming model and prove that the problem is $\mathcal{NP}$ hard. Then, several time-efficient heuristics are designed for FIPP p -cycle formulation and related routing, modulation format, and spectrum assignment. Extensive simulations on offline provisioning verify that the heuristics can obtain near-optimal solutions. Next, we consider online service provisioning with FIPP p -cycles in dynamic EONs. In order to overcome the decrease of protection efficiency during dynamic network operation, we propose a p -cycle reconfiguration scheme to reoptimize protection structures on-the-fly. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can improve spectrum efficiency and reduce bandwidth blocking probability simultaneously.
