Downlink Adaptive Quantization

Downlink adaptive quantization optimizes the transmission of data, particularly model parameters, in communication-intensive applications like federated learning and wireless communication systems. Current research focuses on developing adaptive quantization schemes, often employing neural networks such as autoencoders, to dynamically adjust the precision of transmitted data based on factors like model gradients or channel state information, thereby minimizing communication overhead and energy consumption. This approach promises significant improvements in efficiency for resource-constrained systems, impacting areas such as edge computing and wireless network performance.
