description The rapid increase in Internet usage has led to a growing demand for bandwidth. Optical microring resonators (MRRs) are emerging as a promising solution to meet this need. MRRs generate optical frequency combs (OFCs) that provide multiple wavelengths with high phase coherence, enabling communication via wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Spectrum allocation methods, such as the Routing, Modulation Level, and Spectrum Assignment (RMLSA) approach, play a crucial role in executing this strategy efficiently. While current algorithms have improved allocation efficiency, further development is necessary to optimize network performance. This paper presents an integer linear programming (ILP)-based method for network resource allocation, aiming to maximize the number request and the bandwidth assigned to each. The proposed approach offers a flexible cost function that prioritizes system constraints such as transmission distance and bandwidth requirements, resulting in significant improvements to the bandwidth blocking rate (BBR). By integrating multilevel modulation and using wavelengths generated by MRRs, this method efficiently handles up to 1075 requests, achieving a BBR of zero. This dynamic and adaptable allocation strategy ensures optimal resource utilization, enhancing overall network performance.
