An improved resource allocation algorithm based on double auction for optical networks

For the resource allocation of optical network, grid economy can be introduced to optimize the utilization of resource. Double auction algorithm is appropriate for grid economy, but the speed of convergence of many algorithms is too slow. In this paper we proposed double auction supported optical resource scheduling framework, and then described an improved algorithm on double auction based resource allocation for optical network. We attempt to speed the course of auction and utilize price parameter to adjust the overlay. Simulation results show that our scheme can optimize the equilibrium of overlay, and optical resource can be allocated and scheduled efficiently.
