Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers a secret way to share keys between legitimate users which is guaranteed by the law of quantum mechanics. Most recently, the limitation of transmission distance without quantum repeaters was broken through by twin-field QKD [M. Lucamarini et al., Nature (London) 557, 400 (2018)]. Based on its main idea, sending or not-sending (SNS) QKD protocol was proposed [X. B. Wang et al. Phys. Rev. A 98, 062323 (2018)], which filled the remaining security loopholes and can tolerate large misalignment errors. In this paper, we give a more general model for SNS QKD, where two legitimate users, Alice and Bob, can possess asymmetric quantum channels. By applying the method present in the paper, the legitimate users can achieve dramatically increased key generation rates and transmission distances compared with compensating the channel asymmetry and utilizing the original symmetric protocol. Therefore, our present paper represents a further step along the progress of practical QKD.
