Heterogeneous Wireless

Heterogeneous wireless networks pose significant challenges for federated learning (FL), where diverse devices with varying computational capabilities and wireless conditions collaboratively train machine learning models. Current research focuses on optimizing FL efficiency in these heterogeneous environments by developing novel participant selection strategies, adjusting learning rates based on device capabilities and channel conditions, and employing over-the-air computation to reduce communication overhead. These advancements aim to improve the accuracy and speed of FL while mitigating issues like model staleness and energy consumption, impacting applications ranging from mobile health to smart city infrastructure.
