Abstract

By utilizing the characteristics of quantum entanglement, a quantum synchronous communication protocol for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is presented. The proposed protocol divides the link into the busy time and leisure one, where the data frames are sent via classical channels and the distribution of quantum entanglement is supposed to be completed at leisure time and the quantum acknowledge frames are sent via quantum entanglement channels. The time span between two successfully delivered messages can be significantly reduced in this proposed protocol. It is shown that the performance of the CSMA/CD protocol can be improved significantly since the collision can be reduced to a certain extent. The proposed protocol has great significance in quantum communication.
