ABSTRACT: The major challenge in elastic optical networks is to determine the path
of a connection and to allocate spectral resources on the links of this path.
This problem consists of two sub-problems, routing and spectrum allocation. In
the literature, these sub-problems are solved with a predefined order for all
topology node pairs. Recent work proposes hybrid resolution algorithms based on
connection demand and network state to provide a solution to these problems.
However, the blocking rate of new connection requests has become problematic.
In this work, we propose a hybrid routing and spectrum assignment policy to
improve blocking rate of new connection requests. The proposed solution
consists to change the routing policy of a pair node if the connection request
is blocked. This algorithm improves the blocking rate of new connection
requests.
