This paper proposes a novel two-way free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol, which can be implemented using standard free-space optical (FSO) systems with subcarrier intensity-modulation (SIM) binary phase-shift-keying (BPSK) and direct-detection (DD) receiver. Different eavesdropping threats, including unauthorized receiver, beam-splitting, and intercept-resend attacks, are considered...
Realistic public wireless channels and quantum key distribution (QKD) systems are amalgamated. Explicitly, we conceive network coding aided cooperative QKD over free space optical systems for improving the bit error ratio and either the key rate or the reliable operational distance. Our system has provided a 55% key rate improvement against the state-of-the-art benchmarker.
This paper presents a comprehensive cross-layer analysis framework on the performance of transmission control protocol (TCP) over free-space optical (FSO) links, which employ the automatic repeat request (ARQ) and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) schemes. From the framework, we quantify the impacts of different parameters/settings of ARQ, AMC and FSO links on TCP throughput performance. We also...
