Energy-efficient and low blocking probability differentiated quality of protection scheme for dynamic elastic optical networks

We proposed a differentiated quality of protection scheme to improve the energy efficiency and to reduce the blocking probability in dynamic elastic optical core networks. Simulation results show significant energy efficiency improvements and a notably lower blocking ratio of this novel scheme compared to 1+1 dedicated protection.
