Abstract:

In green optical networks, the transmission time-slot allocation strategy and routing algorithm have a greatly impact on the transmission energy consumption. Aiming at the transmission energy consumption problem, a bandwidth-variable energy efficient scheduling (BVEES) algorithm based on flexible-time scheduled traffic was proposed. By constructing a weight matrix, BVEES calculates the selected times of different path candidates in different slots. Based on the idea of greedy algorithm, BVEES selects the transmission paths and time slots with the minimum transmission energy consumption. In addition, a bandwidth adjustment strategy, which can adjust transmission bandwidth according to the available bandwidth in different slots, was designed for BVEES to minimize the number of lightpaths in optical networks. Simulations show that the BVEES can effectively reduce the transmission energy consumption and the blocking probability.
