Elastic optical networks, due to their key features including flexible spectrum allocation, ability to convey high bitrates, and distance adaptive modulation assignment are considered as a promising solution for providing higher capacity, more efficiency, and scalability in core optical networks.Furthermore, Multi-Core Fibers (MCFs) and Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) technique can be utilized to overcome the capacity limitation of the conventional Single Mode Fibers (SMFs). However, the inter-core crosstalk issue in MCFs should be addressed in the design of these networks.With the use of these technologies and, as a result, increasing the transmission rate in optical networks, the issue... 

Recently, elastic optical networks have attracted high interest to provide more efficiency and scalability in optical core networks. Due to the high transmission rates and the importance of the transmitted data in these networks, a failure may cause vast data losses. Thus, addressing the problem of survivability in these networks is of great importance. According to different time domain behaviors and reliability requirements of incoming traffic, supporting different quality of services is another important concern. On the other hand, using multi-core fibers is a way to scale the network capacity to provide high-speed transmission services but there is a concern that the inter-core crosstalk...
