• Abstract summary: We employ Federated Learning (FL) and prominent features of blockchain into Mobile Edge Computing architecture. FL is advantageous for mobile devices with constrained connectivity since it requires model updates to be delivered to a central point. We propose a fully asynchronoused Federated Learning framework referred to as BFL-MEC, in which the mobile clients evolve independently yet guarantee stability in the global learning process.

• Abstract: Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has been a promising paradigm for communicating and edge processing of data on the move. We aim to employ Federated Learning (FL) and prominent features of blockchain into MEC architecture such as connected autonomous vehicles to enable complete decentralization, immutability, and rewarding mechanisms simultaneously. FL is advantageous for mobile devices with constrained connectivity since it requires model updates to be delivered to a central point instead of substantial amounts of data communication. For instance, FL in autonomous, connected vehicles can increase data diversity and allow model customization, and predictions are possible even when the vehicles are not connected (by exploiting their local models) for short times. However, existing synchronous FL and Blockchain incur extremely high communication costs due to mobility-induced impairments and do not apply directly to MEC networks. We propose a fully asynchronous Blockchained Federated Learning (BFL) framework referred to as BFL-MEC, in which the mobile clients and their models evolve independently yet guarantee stability in the global learning process. More importantly, we employ post-quantum secure features over BFL-MEC to verify the client's identity and defend against malicious attacks. All of our design assumptions and results are evaluated with extensive simulations.

  A parallel trend is the rise of phones and tablets as primary computing devices for many people. The powerful sensors present on these devices combined with the fact that they are mobile, mean they have access to data of an unprecedentedly diverse and private nature. Models learned on such data hold the promise of greatly improving usability by powering more intelligent applications, but the sensitive nature of the data means there are risks and responsibilities to storing it in a centralized location. We propose the use of Federated Learning (FL) so that specific data about services performed by clients do not leave the source machines.
