Zone based Spectrum Assignment in Elastic Optical Networks: A fairness approach

We propose a Routing and Spectrum Assignment algorithm to address Spectrum Fragmentation, and unfairness among different rated requests in Elastic Optical Networks. Results show that our method achieves desired fairness and reduces blocked bandwidth ratio.
