The convergence of Sixth-Generation (6G) wireless networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) demands unprecedented levels of performance, scalability, and security. Traditional architectures are increasingly inadequate in addressing the computational and security challenges posed by massive IoT connectivity, ultra-low latency, and high data throughput. This paper proposes a novel quantum-assisted architecture that integrates quantum computing and quantum communication principles to enhance the efficiency and security of 6G-enabled IoT systems. The framework leverages quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum machine learning (QML), and entanglement-assisted routing to provide end-to-end encryption, intelligent resource allocation, and resilient data transmission. Our simulation results and comparative analysis demonstrate significant improvements in network throughput, latency, and security resilience compared to classical 6G-IoT architectures. This research establishes a foundational step toward realising secure and intelligent next-generation wireless networks through the integration of quantum technology.
Greater security pledges, reduced latency, and increased energy efficiency are now more important than ever due to the Wireless Sensor Networks' (WSNs) explosive growth. Although they work well for many distributed systems, traditional cryptography techniques are slow for mission-critical sensor applications and are still susceptible to new quantum attackers. In order to improve WSN security and performance, this study proposes a unified framework that combines Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) with 5G communication capabilities. This expanded work builds on previous simulation studies before and after the third Doctoral Committee evaluation. It includes a refined 5G-enabled architecture, a lightweight QKD model, and extensive simulations that capture energy consumption, bandwidth variation, latency, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), and Quantum Bit Error Rate (QBER). The findings show that while QKD maintains robust security even under controlled levels of quantum noise, 5G-assisted WSNs greatly increase bandwidth usage and communication delay. The proposed 5G–QKD WSN consistently delivers decreased latency, stable PDR, and enhanced security without imposing severe energy penalties, according to comparative simulations versus classical LEACH and MULE-based baselines. These results lend credence to the viability of hybrid quantum-enhanced wireless networks for critical infrastructure monitoring, smart environments, and future extensive IoT deployments.
