In this paper, we consider elastic data traffic and spectrum adaptation for channel aggregation, and propose two new strategies named as Greedy and Dynamic respectively. The performance of channel aggregation represented by these strategies is evaluated using continuous time Markov chain models. Moreover, simulation results based on various traffic distributions are utilized in order to evaluate the validity and preciseness of the mathematical models. %G English %Z TC 6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01587855/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01587855/file/978-3-642-23041-7_3_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01587855 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01587855 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-NETWORKING %~ IFIP-LNCS-6827
