Abstract

This paper proposes a novel joint resource allocation technique for flexible-grid systems by utilizing non-dominant sort genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) in a multi-objective optimization framework. It pioneers the implementation of an evolutionary mechanism to optimize resources as means of mitigation of physical layer impairments. This investigation initially introduces a proposal in which bandwidth reduction, maximization of the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) margin, and minimization/maximization of the sum of SNR margins are studied under dual-objective Pareto analysis in the link-level scenario. Later, the technique extends existing provisioning strategies for network planning by targeting the reduction of blocking and spectral utilization of optical connections.
