We describe a Survivable Traffic Cognition (STC) algorithm with joint failure probability. Survivable Traffic Assignment (STA) algorithm and Conventional Traffic Assignment (CTA) algorithm are added to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed STC. We investigate the effect of joint failure probability on blocking probability, spectral utilization ratio, average joint failure probability, and the average hops. Simulation results show that our proposed STC not only achieves better performance in terms of blocking probability and spectral utilization ratio than CTA and STA, but also does not cause higher average joint failure probability or larger average hops compared with STA. As a result, STC makes the best use of spectral resources and does not cause large average joint failure probability.展开更多
