p-Cycle Protection Approach with Maximum Spectrum Sharing in Elastic Optical Networks

In this paper, a p-Cycle protection approach with maximum spectrum sharing is proposed to reduce spectrum consumption. Simulation results show the proposed approach achieves lower blocking probability and resource redundancy than that without spectrum sharing.
