Transport

Quantum Networking The field and infrastructure for transmitting and distributing quantum states between physically separated nodes over quantum channels, providing the connectivity layer for quantum key distribution and, in more advanced forms,… Concept/Framework Quantum Repeater A specialized device that extends the practical range of a quantum network beyond direct point-to-point transmission limits by using entanglement swapping across intermediate nodes, rather than the signal amplification or… Hardware Quantum-Safe Encryption The state of an encryption system being resistant to both classical and quantum cryptanalytic attack, achieved through the use of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, quantum key distribution, or a combination of… Concept/Framework Queue Management Queue Management is the handling of packet queues in a device or system so delay, loss, and fairness can be controlled. Operations QUIC A modern transport protocol built on UDP that combines connection establishment, encryption negotiation, and reliable data delivery into a single handshake, reducing connection setup latency and improving performance over lossy… Protocol Radar Radar is a radio sensing system that transmits electromagnetic energy, receives reflections, and processes them to infer the presence, distance, velocity, or other properties of objects. It is used for… Hardware Radio Access Network A radio access network is the collection of radio access equipment, control logic, and supporting transport that connects endpoints to a mobile or wireless service. It manages radio resources, mobility,… Concept/Framework Rain Fade Rain fade is the loss of signal strength and quality caused when precipitation absorbs or scatters radio energy along the propagation path. Concept/Framework Redundant Path A redundant path is a secondary network path configured or available to preserve service when the primary path fails, degrades, or becomes congested. It is used to improve availability and… Concept/Framework Relay A relay is a communications element that receives a signal and transmits it again toward the destination or next hop. It may operate as an amplifier, repeater, regenerator, or packet-forwarding… Hardware
