Abstract :
The paper presents energy efficient routing in dynamic optical networks, where solar energy sources are employed for the network nodes. Different parameters are evaluated, including the number of nodes that have access to solar energy sources, the different maximum solar output power, traffic type and the locations of solar powered nodes. Results show a maximum 39% savings in energy consumption with different increases in connection blocking probability.
