Research Data: Network Coding Aided Cooperative Quantum Key Distribution Over Free-Space Optical Channels

Research Data for the paper Network Coding Aided Cooperative Quantum Key Distribution Over Free-Space Optical Channels published in IEEE Access, (Volume: PP, Issue: 99, DOI: 10.1109/ACCESS.2017.2712288). Paper abstract: Realistic public wireless channels and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems are amalgamated. Explicitly, we conceive Network Coding aided Cooperative Quantum Key Distribution over Free Space Optical (NC-CQKD-FSO) systems for improving the Bit Error Ratio (BER) 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.
