Abstract: A wireless federated learning (FL) framework and a resource optimization method are provided to resolve a problem that FL is not suitable for many hardware-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices with a small amount of computing resources. In the framework, users with sufficient computing resources upload locally trained model parameters to a base station, and users with limited computing resources only need to send training data to the base station. The base station performs data training and model aggregation to obtain a global model. In this way, the users with limited computing resources and the users with sufficient computing resources cooperatively train the global model. To improve a data transmission rate and reduce an aggregation error of FL, a non-convex optimization problem is constructed to jointly design user transmit power and a reception strategy of the base station, and solves the problem through a successive convex approximation (SCA) method.

Abstract: A semi-federated learning (semiFL) method based on a next-generation multiple access (NGMA) technology is provided. Centralized learning (CL) and FL are integrated such that devices with weak computing capabilities can also participate in training of a global model. A simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) is deployed to dynamically change a channel environment such that a system can meet different task requirements of heterogeneous users. Communication-centric CL users and computing-centric FL users can transmit data in parallel on a same time-frequency resource. This avoids a waste of data resources, enriches data obtaining of a base station (BS), and improves accuracy of the global model. The semiFL method also integrates a strategy for jointly optimizing user power allocation and a configuration of the STAR-RIS to reduce total uplink transmit power consumption of the system and prolong a life cycle of an intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) network.
