Higher efficiency of error reconciliation technique is for data post-processing for quantum key distribution. Based on the one way error reconciliation scheme of Hamming syndrome concatenation, the error correction performances of there kinds of Hamming codes are demonstrated by data simulation analysis. The simulation results indicate that when the initial error rates are (-∞, 1.5%], (1.5%, 3%], and (3%, 11%], if using Hamming (31, 26), (15, 11), and (7, 4) codes to correct the errors, respectively, the key generation rate is maximized. Base on these outcomes, we propose a kind of modified error reconciliation scheme which is based on the mixed pattern of Hamming syndrome concatenation. The ability to correct the errors and the key generation rate are verified through data simulation. Meanwhile, using the parameters of the posterior distribution based on the tested data, a simple method of estimating bit error rates (BER) with a confidence interval is estimated. The simulation results show that when the initial bit error rate is 9.50%, after correcting error 8 times error, the error bits are eliminated completely and the key generation rate is 9.94%. The BER expectation is 5.21×10-12, when the confidence is 90% the corresponding upper limit of BER is 2.85×10-11. The key generation rate increased by about 3-fold compared with that of original error reconciliation scheme.
