A novel photons routing protocols over Lifi ad-hoc networks for Quantum computing

Lifi ad-hoc networks (LANETs) are going to be a next generation network of photons moving at high mobility and also support multi-hop communication among photons to send information and improving security in communication channels. LANETs are significantly deployed to send photons from one location to another over a fibre channel for Quantum Crypto applications. It is proposed to have a routing protocol for transmission of photons among nodes. The routing protocol involves polar coordinates, direction and mid-area nodes to forward the photon to destination node from source. In this paper, we are interested to show the better performance of photons delivery of LANETs routing protocols for photons transmission via nodes. Specifically, we implement the routing protocol (by means of shortest path methods) laid on the network layer of IEEE 801.11 working group and takes the next hop as the next photon forwarder. It is shown that the routing protocol takes routing decisions based on distance, direction, throughput patterns and network link quality and calculating the neighbour nodes distance, direction and network link quality over Bloch sphere and then calculate the weightage value and visible light spectrum for decision.
