    Algorithm 1. The proposed OHM-MCF algorithm

    Input: An IR request RsdC) and network topology GVE);

    Output: The best candidate spectrum block B and the routing path where the block is located;

    Phase I: Network Initialization (OHM routing process)

    1: for each s-d pair in GVE) do

    2: calculate all feasible routing paths;

    3: calculate WP with Formula (2) for each feasible path of s-d pair;

    4: choose the first K candidate paths according to the ascending order of WP

    5: take each s-d pair and the corresponding K candidate paths as key value pairs and store them

    in the dictionary RP.

    6: end for

    Phase II: Dynamic Service Provision (MCF spectrum allocation process)

    7: Extract K candidate paths corresponding to the requested s-d from RP

    8: for each path do

    9: build the path resource model for path;

    10: find all candidate spectrum blocks based on spectrum block search strategy;

    11: for each spectrum block B do

    12: calculate FM with Formula (7)

    13: end for

    14: end for

    15: if candidate spectrum blocks exist then

    16: determine the best spectrum block B with minimum FM

    17: assign the best block and the corresponding path to the request;

    18: else

    19: block the request;

    20: end if
