WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK BASED ON HIGH-DIMENSIONAL QUANTUM COMMUNICATION

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has poor security in data transmission. In order to solve this problem, a high-dimensional quantum WSN (QWSN) is designed. In the QWSN, the node is high-dimensional quantum sensor node. On account of d-dimensional Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR)-pairs, the protocols are designed. The protocols include high-dimensional quantum channel safety testing protocol (HQTP) and high-dimensional quantum entanglement swapping communication protocol (HQCP). The HQTP can detect the third-party eavesdropping and the interference of the surrounding environment. The HQCP is used to transmit the information directly. The analysis and simulation results show that the WSN based on high-dimensional quantum provides the better security, throughput and efficiency than conventional WSN.
