Energy-efficient connection provisioning in WDM optical networks

A novel energy-efficient dynamic provisioning scheme is proposed by using an intelligent load control mechanism and an auxiliary graph model. Significant reduction in total energy consumption is achieved without a noticeable increase in the blocking probability.
