Abstract
Quantum key distribution (QKD) ensures two individuals to establish a secret key by exchanging photon quantum states, which ensures the security and can be promising to assist future wireless communications. In this paper, we investigate a quantum-assisted wireless communication system, where QKD is first performed to generate secure key, and wireless communication is conducted for data transmission via non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). To guarantee user fairness, the aim is to maximize the minimal secure rate among all users. To solve this nonconvex problem, an iterative algorithm with low complexity is proposed, where the closed-form solution is obtained in each iteration. Simulation results are illustrated to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
