Abstract: Methods of distributing a quantum-based cryptographic key to multiple network nodes. A multi-user quantum key distribution from one node to two further nodes can be extended to a binary tree structure where any further node can participate in quantum key distribution with its two child nodes. A key generated in a 3-node subgroup can be stitched with a key from of a parent 3-node subgroup, or a child 3-node group, and key confirmations can be provided through authenticated classical channels. Classical channels can also be used to communicate and relay membership updates, allowing a key operator at a binary tree's root node to update keys accordingly.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station using UE cooperation.
