Results show that the proposed strategy achieves higher utilizations of both wavelength-links and transceivers under different scenarios of load and transceiver number, and significantly reduce the blocking probability (CBP).enoptical fibre networksoptical receiversoptical transmitterstelecommunication network routingtelecommunication network topologytransceivers621conference paper
