Key Contributions:
- Introduces two approaches for scheduling Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) transceivers:
- MBS (Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Scheduler): Offers optimal allocation but has high computational cost.
- ADS (Allocation-Driven Scheduler): Efficient and scalable, suitable for larger networks.
- Demonstrates significant resource savings compared to non-scheduled approaches:
- 20–25% saving under low network load.
- Up to 5% saving even in high-load conditions.
- Supports cost-efficient deployment of QKD infrastructures through strategic sharing and scheduling.
This research advances the Allegro EU Project’s commitment to enabling scalable and resource-efficient quantum-secure networking.
