• Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables clients to share learning parameters instead of local data, reducing communication overhead. Traditional wireless networks face latency challenges with FL. In contrast, Cell-Free Massive MIMO (CFmMIMO) can serve multiple clients on shared resources, boosting spectral efficiency and reducing latency for large-scale FL. However, clients' communication resource limitations can hinder the completion of the FL training. To address this challenge, we propose an energy-efficient, low-latency FL framework featuring optimized uplink power allocation for seamless client-server collaboration. Our framework employs an adaptive quantization scheme, dynamically adjusting bit allocation for local gradient updates to reduce communication costs. We formulate a joint optimization problem covering FL model updates, local iterations, and power allocation, solved using sequential quadratic programming (SQP) to balance energy and latency. Additionally, clients use the AdaDelta method for local FL model updates, enhancing local model convergence compared to standard SGD, and we provide a comprehensive analysis of FL convergence with AdaDelta local updates. Numerical results show that, within the same energy and latency budgets, our power allocation scheme outperforms the Dinkelbach and max-sum rate methods by increasing the test accuracy up to $7$\% and $19$\%, respectively. Moreover, for the three power allocation methods, our proposed quantization scheme outperforms AQUILA and LAQ by increasing test accuracy by up to $36$\% and $35$\%, respectively.

  Federated learning (FL) is a distributed learning framework where users train a global model by exchanging local model updates with a server instead of raw datasets. Cell-free massive multiple-input multipleoutput (CFmMIMO) is a promising solution to serve numerous users on the same time/frequency resource with similar rates. In this paper, we co-optimize the physical layer with the FL application to mitigate the straggler effect.

  Federated learning (FL) is a distributed learning paradigm wherein users exchange FL models with a server instead of raw datasets. Cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output(CFmMIMO) is a promising architecture for implementing FL because it serves many users on the same time/frequency resources. We propose an uplink power allocation scheme in FL over CFmMIMO by considering the effect of each user's power on the energy and latency of other users.

  In federated learning (FL), distributed clients can collaboratively train a shared global model while retaining their own training data locally. In this paper, a joint optimization problem of client selection and resource allocation is formulated, aiming to minimize the total time consumption of each round in FL over a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enabled wireless network. In addition, a server-side artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to predict the FL models of clients who are not selected at each round to further improve FL performance.

• Convergence Time Optimization for Federated Learning over Wireless Networks [160.82696473996566]
  A wireless network is considered in which wireless users transmit their local FL models (trained using their locally collected data) to a base station (BS) The BS, acting as a central controller, generates a global FL model using the received local FL models and broadcasts it back to all users. Due to the limited number of resource blocks (RBs) in a wireless network, only a subset of users can be selected to transmit their local FL model parameters to the BS. Since each user has unique training data samples, the BS prefers to include all local user FL models to generate a converged global FL model.
