Split-spectrum channel scheme for future dynamic flexible grid optical networks

To reduce connection blocking caused by spectrum fragmentation in future elastic optical networks, we propose the split-spectrum channel scheme and a spectrum allocation algorithm. Simulations are done to show its remarkable performance.
