Spectrum efficient super-channels in dynamic flexible grid networks - A blocking analysis

We analyze the blocking performance of spectrum efficient super-channels in dynamic flexible grid networks. Results demonstrate that increased spectral efficiency and flexible super-channel assignment do translate into network efficiency gains.
