Abstract
The paper presents a Q-learning based dynamic routing algorithm for C+L band elastic optical networks (EONs) considering fiber impairments such as cross-phase modulation (XPM), self-phase modulation (SPM), amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), and inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS). The effect of fragmentation is considered in the Q-learning process in addition to considering constraints related to spectrum continuity, contiguity, and non-overlapping. Three classical spectrum allocation strategies, first-fit, last-fit, and exact-fit are used after the Q-learning routing algorithm. The proposed routing, modulation, and spectrum allocation (RMSA) approach is shown to have a lower blocking probability compared with using K-shortest path routing combined with the three classical spectrum allocation strategies.
