Enabling QKD in Passive Optical Access Networks by Adaptive GPON Scheduling
Paper in proceeding, 2026
We demonstrate a novel scheduling approach for implementing QKD in optical access networks. By applying adaptive time-division coordination, we achieve 95\% improvements in secret key rate while maintaining acceptable quality-of-service for classical data services.
