• Abstract: Motivated by the drawbacks of cloud-based federated learning (FL), cooperative federated edge learning (CFEL) has been proposed to improve efficiency for FL over mobile edge networks, where multiple edge servers collaboratively coordinate the distributed model training across a large number of edge devices. However, CFEL faces critical challenges arising from dynamic and heterogeneous device properties, which slow down the convergence and increase resource consumption. This paper proposes a heterogeneity-aware CFEL scheme called \textit{Heterogeneity-Aware Cooperative Edge-based Federated Averaging} (HCEF) that aims to maximize the model accuracy while minimizing the training time and energy consumption via adaptive computation and communication compression in CFEL. By theoretically analyzing how local update frequency and gradient compression affect the convergence error bound in CFEL, we develop an efficient online control algorithm for HCEF to dynamically determine local update frequencies and compression ratios for heterogeneous devices. Experimental results show that compared with prior schemes, the proposed HCEF scheme can maintain higher model accuracy while reducing training latency and improving energy efficiency simultaneously.

  Federated Learning (FL) provides a privacy-preserving framework for training machine learning models on mobile edge devices. Traditional FL algorithms, e.g., FedAvg, impose a heavy communication workload on these devices. We propose a two-tier HFEL system, where edge devices are connected to edge servers and edge servers are interconnected through peer-to-peer (P2P) edge backhauls. Our goal is to enhance the training efficiency of the HFEL system through strategic resource allocation and topology design.

  We focus on Federated learning (FL) via edge-the-air computation (AirComp) We describe the convergence of AirComp-based FedAvg (AirFedAvg) algorithms under both convex and non- convex settings. For different types of local updates that can be transmitted by edge devices (i.e., model, gradient, model difference), we reveal that transmitting in AirFedAvg may cause an aggregation error. In addition, we consider more practical signal processing schemes to improve the communication efficiency and extend the convergence analysis to different forms of model aggregation error caused by these signal processing schemes.

  Federated Learning (FL) is a privacy-preserving distributed learning framework where a server aggregates models updated by multiple devices without accessing their private datasets. In this paper, we introduce model pruning for HFL in wireless networks to reduce the neural network scale. We show that our proposed HFL with model pruning achieves similar learning accuracy compared with the HFL without model pruning and reduces about 50 percent communication cost.
