An interpolated quantized guard band algorithm for physical layer key generation by Yongli An, Kun Zha, Wenfeng Song, Zhanlin Ji

“…Secure communication based on physical layer encryption emerges as a solution. To meet the low Key Disagreement Rate (KDR) and high Key Generation Rate (KGR) requirements for physical layer key generation, this paper proposes two quantization algorithms, Improve-CQG and Interpolate-CQG, based on the Channel Quantization with Guard band (CQG) algorithm. …”
