Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of spectrum-aware survivable strategies with failure probability constraints under static traffic in flexible bandwidth optical networks. The joint failure probability between primary and backup paths must be below the maximum tolerable joint failure probability for each traffic demand. We develop integer linear program (ILP) models for dedicated-path protection and shared-path protection in order to minimize the total number of frequency slots consumed, and we also propose a spectrum-aware dedicated protection (SADP) algorithm and a spectrum-aware shared protection (SASP) algorithm. Simulation results show that the ILP model solutions consume minimum number of frequency slots, but lead to higher average joint failure probability compared to the SADP and SASP algorithms. Moreover, both the SADP and SASP algorithms achieve a better performance in terms of total number of frequency slots consumed as compared to a conventional dedicated-path protection algorithm and a conventional shared-path protection algorithm, respectively, but lead to higher average joint failure probability.
