    According to the difference of entanglement resources consumed by quantum nodes in different environments,the weights are used to quantify the influence of real environment on each quantum node,and the distribution of entangled particles is determined according to the weights.At the same time,a routing protocol for quantum wireless multi-hop networks is proposed based on weights.The protocol takes the utilization ratio of entangled particles as the routing metric,and establishes quantum channel through the distribution of entangled particles based on the maximum weights and the parallel entanglement exchange to realize the transmission of quantum states.The simulation results show that the proposed routing protocol can be used to find out the quantum links in the network which meet the measurement conditions,and the parallel entanglement swapping is used in the routing protocol to reduce the delay of quantum state transmission.When the number of nodes is 15,the average delay of parallel switching is 50% lower than that of serial switching,and with the increase of the number of nodes in the link,the delay between the two will become larger and larger.The weights of the simulation nodes are all random integers of 1 to 15.Through several simulations on the links of 5 nodes,it is found that the average number of quantum states that can be transmitted by using the maximum weights entangled particle distribution method is 14,and the average number of quantum states that can be transmitted by the serial distribution method is 7.The routing scheme based on the maximum weights of entangled particle distribution can save entangled resources,maintain the load balance of the network,and prolong the service life of the link in the network.
