TL;DR
A DRL-assisted approach for service provisioning in multi-band elastic optical networks that reduces request blocking by 50% compared with heuristics from the literature.
Abstract
We propose a DRL-assisted approach for service provisioning in multi-band elastic optical networks. Our simulation environment uses an accurate QoT estimator based on the GN/EGN model. Results show that the proposed approach reduces request blocking by 50% compared with heuristics from the literature.
