This invention discloses a method for establishing
satellite-to-ground QKD links in a low-Earth
orbit quantum satellite network, belonging to the field of
quantum communication technology. The invention includes: maintaining
satellite-to-ground QKD links established in the previous time window with a real-time
key generation rate higher than a threshold within the
current time window; screening candidate satellite-to-ground QKD links based on
visibility information, achievable
key generation rate, and the number of idle QKD transceivers; determining and establishing the optimal satellite-to-ground QKD link based on a comparison of the number of idle
quantum satellite transmitters with the number of candidate links, combined with the number of quantum satellites visible to each
ground station within the
current time window and the achievable key quantity of each candidate satellite-to-ground QKD link. This invention, by comprehensively considering link quality, equipment
resource constraints, the number of quantum satellites visible to each
ground station, and the achievable key quantity of each link, achieves dynamic and intelligent establishment of satellite-to-ground QKD links, effectively improving key production efficiency and
key distribution balance, while reducing
system overhead caused by frequent link switching.
