Abstract
A set of media channel (MCh) widths is determined for an optical network. Based on a topology of the network, a first set of original MCh widths are computed for tentative use in the optical network, the first set of original MCh widths defining a target spectral efficiency. A reduced set of new MCh widths are generated from the first set of MCh widths by respectively mapping each of the original MCh widths of the first set of original MCh widths to a corresponding, or respective, new MCh width. An optimization algorithm is used in an example embodiment to facilitate the mapping.
