We envision a mobile edge computing (MEC) framework for machine learning (ML) technologies, which leverages distributed client data and computation resources for training high-performance ML models while preserving client privacy. Toward this future goal, this work aims to extend Federated Learning (FL), a decentralized learning framework that enables privacy-preserving training of models, to work with heterogeneous clients in a practical cellular network. The FL protocol iteratively asks random clients to download a trainable model from a server, update it with own data, and upload the updated model to the server, while asking the server to aggregate multiple client updates to further improve the model. While clients in this protocol are free from disclosing own private data, the overall training process can become inefficient when some clients are with limited computational resources (i.e., requiring longer update time) or under poor wireless channel conditions (longer upload time). Our new FL protocol, which we refer to as FedCS, mitigates this problem and performs FL efficiently while actively managing clients based on their resource conditions. Specifically, FedCS solves a client selection problem with resource constraints, which allows the server to aggregate as many client updates as possible and to accelerate performance improvement in ML models. We conducted an experimental evaluation using publicly-available large-scale image datasets to train deep neural networks on MEC environment simulations. The experimental results show that FedCS is able to complete its training process in a significantly shorter time compared to the original FL protocol.

随着数据生成越来越多地在没有连接连接的设备上进行，因此与机器学习（ML）相关的流量将在无线网络中无处不在。许多研究表明，传统的无线协议高效或不可持续以支持ML，这创造了对新的无线通信方法的需求。在这项调查中，我们对最先进的无线方法进行了详尽的审查，这些方法是专门设计用于支持分布式数据集的ML服务的。当前，文献中有两个明确的主题，模拟的无线计算和针对ML优化的数字无线电资源管理。这项调查对这些方法进行了全面的介绍，回顾了最重要的作品，突出了开放问题并讨论了应用程序方案。

联合学习（FL）使多个设备能够在不共享其个人数据的情况下协作学习全局模型。在现实世界应用中，不同的各方可能具有异质数据分布和有限的通信带宽。在本文中，我们有兴趣提高FL系统的通信效率。我们根据梯度规范的重要性调查和设计设备选择策略。特别是，我们的方法包括在每个通信轮中选择具有最高梯度值的最高规范的设备。我们研究了这种选择技术的收敛性和性能，并将其与现有技术进行比较。我们用非IID设置执行几个实验。结果显示了我们的方法的收敛性，与随机选择比较的测试精度相当大。

Federated learning (FL) is a collaborative machine learning framework that requires different clients (e.g., Internet of Things devices) to participate in the machine learning model training process by training and uploading their local models to an FL server in each global iteration. Upon receiving the local models from all the clients, the FL server generates a global model by aggregating the received local models. This traditional FL process may suffer from the straggler problem in heterogeneous client settings, where the FL server has to wait for slow clients to upload their local models in each global iteration, thus increasing the overall training time. One of the solutions is to set up a deadline and only the clients that can upload their local models before the deadline would be selected in the FL process. This solution may lead to a slow convergence rate and global model overfitting issues due to the limited client selection. In this paper, we propose the Latency awarE Semi-synchronous client Selection and mOdel aggregation for federated learNing (LESSON) method that allows all the clients to participate in the whole FL process but with different frequencies. That is, faster clients would be scheduled to upload their models more frequently than slow clients, thus resolving the straggler problem and accelerating the convergence speed, while avoiding model overfitting. Also, LESSON is capable of adjusting the tradeoff between the model accuracy and convergence rate by varying the deadline. Extensive simulations have been conducted to compare the performance of LESSON with the other two baseline methods, i.e., FedAvg and FedCS. The simulation results demonstrate that LESSON achieves faster convergence speed than FedAvg and FedCS, and higher model accuracy than FedCS.

联合学习（FL）作为边缘设备的有希望的技术，以协作学习共享预测模型，同时保持其训练数据，从而解耦了从需要存储云中的数据的机器学习的能力。然而，在规模和系统异质性方面，FL难以现实地实现。虽然有许多用于模拟FL算法的研究框架，但它们不支持在异构边缘设备上进行可扩展的流程。在本文中，我们呈现花 - 一种全面的FL框架，通过提供新的设施来执行大规模的FL实验并考虑丰富的异构流程来区分现有平台。我们的实验表明花卉可以仅使用一对高端GPU在客户尺寸下进行FL实验。然后，研究人员可以将实验无缝地迁移到真实设备中以检查设计空间的其他部分。我们认为花卉为社区提供了一个批判性的新工具，用于研究和发展。

In recent years, mobile devices are equipped with increasingly advanced sensing and computing capabilities. Coupled with advancements in Deep Learning (DL), this opens up countless possibilities for meaningful applications, e.g., for medical purposes and in vehicular networks. Traditional cloudbased Machine Learning (ML) approaches require the data to be centralized in a cloud server or data center. However, this results in critical issues related to unacceptable latency and communication inefficiency. To this end, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has been proposed to bring intelligence closer to the edge, where data is produced. However, conventional enabling technologies for ML at mobile edge networks still require personal data to be shared with external parties, e.g., edge servers. Recently, in light of increasingly stringent data privacy legislations and growing privacy concerns, the concept of Federated Learning (FL) has been introduced. In FL, end devices use their local data to train an ML model required by the server. The end devices then send the model updates rather than raw data to the server for aggregation. FL can serve as an enabling technology in mobile edge networks since it enables the collaborative training of an ML model and also enables DL for mobile edge network optimization. However, in a large-scale and complex mobile edge network, heterogeneous devices with varying constraints are involved. This raises challenges of communication costs, resource allocation, and privacy and security in the implementation of FL at scale. In this survey, we begin with an introduction to the background and fundamentals of FL. Then, we highlight the aforementioned challenges of FL implementation and review existing solutions. Furthermore, we present the applications of FL for mobile edge network optimization. Finally, we discuss the important challenges and future research directions in FL.

联合学习（FL）是一个新的人工智能概念，它使得互联网（IoT）设备能够学习协作模型，而无需将原始数据发送到集中的节点进行处理。尽管有许多优势，但在物联网设备上的计算资源较低，交换模型参数的高通信成本使得FL在大型物联网网络中的应用非常有限。在这项工作中，我们为非常大的物联网网络开发了一种新型的FL压缩方案，称为高压联合学习（HCFL）。 HCFL可以减少FL过程的数据负载，而无需更改其结构和超参数。通过这种方式，我们不仅可以显着降低沟通成本，而且使密集学习过程更适应低计算资源的物联网设备。此外，我们研究了IoT设备数量与FL模型的收敛水平之间的关系，从而更好地评估了FL过程的质量。我们在模拟和数学分析中演示了HCFL方案。我们提出的理论研究可以用作最低满意度的水平，证明在满足确定的配置时，FL过程可以实现良好的性能。因此，我们表明HCFL适用于具有许多物联网设备的任何FLENTECTED网络。

使用人工智能（AI）赋予无线网络中数据量的前所未有的数据量激增，为提供无处不在的数据驱动智能服务而开辟了新的视野。通过集中收集数据集和培训模型来实现传统的云彩中心学习（ML）基础的服务。然而，这种传统的训练技术包括两个挑战：（i）由于数据通信增加而导致的高通信和能源成本，（ii）通过允许不受信任的各方利用这些信息来威胁数据隐私。最近，鉴于这些限制，一种新兴的新兴技术，包括联合学习（FL），以使ML带到无线网络的边缘。通过以分布式方式培训全局模型，可以通过FL Server策划的全局模型来提取数据孤岛的好处。 FL利用分散的数据集和参与客户的计算资源，在不影响数据隐私的情况下开发广义ML模型。在本文中，我们介绍了对FL的基本面和能够实现技术的全面调查。此外，提出了一个广泛的研究，详细说明了无线网络中的流体的各种应用，并突出了他们的挑战和局限性。进一步探索了FL的疗效，其新兴的前瞻性超出了第五代（B5G）和第六代（6G）通信系统。本调查的目的是在关键的无线技术中概述了流动的技术，这些技术将作为建立对该主题的坚定了解的基础。最后，我们向未来的研究方向提供前进的道路。

联合学习（FL）和分裂学习（SL）是两种新兴的协作学习方法，可能会极大地促进物联网（IoT）中无处不在的智能。联合学习使机器学习（ML）模型在本地培训的模型使用私人数据汇总为全球模型。分裂学习使ML模型的不同部分可以在学习框架中对不同工人进行协作培训。联合学习和分裂学习，每个学习都有独特的优势和各自的局限性，可能会相互补充，在物联网中无处不在的智能。因此，联合学习和分裂学习的结合最近成为一个活跃的研究领域，引起了广泛的兴趣。在本文中，我们回顾了联合学习和拆分学习方面的最新发展，并介绍了有关最先进技术的调查，该技术用于将这两种学习方法组合在基于边缘计算的物联网环境中。我们还确定了一些开放问题，并讨论了该领域未来研究的可能方向，希望进一步引起研究界对这个新兴领域的兴趣。

分布式深度学习框架，如联合学习（FL）及其变体都是在广泛的Web客户端和移动/ IOT设备上实现个性化体验。然而，由于模型参数的爆炸增长（例如，十亿参数模型），基于FL的框架受到客户的计算资源的限制。拆分学习（SL），最近的框架，通过拆分客户端和服务器之间的模型培训来减少客户端计算负载。这种灵活性对于低计算设置非常有用，但通常以带宽消耗的增加成本而实现，并且可能导致次优化会聚，尤其是当客户数据异构时。在这项工作中，我们介绍了adasplit，通过降低带宽消耗并提高异构客户端的性能，使得能够将SL有效地缩放到低资源场景。为了捕获和基准的分布式深度学习的多维性质，我们还介绍了C3分数，是评估资源预算下的性能。我们通过与强大联邦和分裂学习基线的大量实验比较进行了大量实验比较，验证了adasplit在有限的资源下的有效性。我们还展示了adasplit中关键设计选择的敏感性分析，该选择验证了adasplit在可变资源预算中提供适应性权衡的能力。

为了满足下一代无线通信网络的极其异构要求，研究界越来越依赖于使用机器学习解决方案进行实时决策和无线电资源管理。传统的机器学习采用完全集中的架构，其中整个培训数据在一个节点上收集，即云服务器，显着提高了通信开销，并提高了严重的隐私问题。迄今为止，最近提出了作为联合学习（FL）称为联合学习的分布式机器学习范式。在FL中，每个参与边缘设备通过使用自己的培训数据列举其本地模型。然后，通过无线信道，本地训练模型的权重或参数被发送到中央ps，聚合它们并更新全局模型。一方面，FL对优化无线通信网络的资源起着重要作用，另一方面，无线通信对于FL至关重要。因此，FL和无线通信之间存在“双向”关系。虽然FL是一个新兴的概念，但许多出版物已经在FL的领域发表了发布及其对下一代无线网络的应用。尽管如此，我们注意到没有任何作品突出了FL和无线通信之间的双向关系。因此，本调查纸的目的是通过提供关于FL和无线通信之间的相互依存性的及时和全面的讨论来弥合文学中的这种差距。

Federated learning (FL) allows multiple clients cooperatively train models without disclosing local data. However, the existing works fail to address all these practical concerns in FL: limited communication resources, dynamic network conditions and heterogeneous client properties, which slow down the convergence of FL. To tackle the above challenges, we propose a heterogeneity-aware FL framework, called FedCG, with adaptive client selection and gradient compression. Specifically, the parameter server (PS) selects a representative client subset considering statistical heterogeneity and sends the global model to them. After local training, these selected clients upload compressed model updates matching their capabilities to the PS for aggregation, which significantly alleviates the communication load and mitigates the straggler effect. We theoretically analyze the impact of both client selection and gradient compression on convergence performance. Guided by the derived convergence rate, we develop an iteration-based algorithm to jointly optimize client selection and compression ratio decision using submodular maximization and linear programming. Extensive experiments on both real-world prototypes and simulations show that FedCG can provide up to 5.3$\times$ speedup compared to other methods.

联合学习（FL）是一种有效的分布式机器学习范式，以隐私的方式采用私人数据集。 FL的主要挑战是，END设备通常具有各种计算和通信功能，其培训数据并非独立且分布相同（非IID）。由于在移动网络中此类设备的通信带宽和不稳定的可用性，因此只能在每个回合中选择最终设备（也称为参与者或客户端的参与者或客户端）。因此，使用有效的参与者选择方案来最大程度地提高FL的性能，包括最终模型的准确性和训练时间，这一点至关重要。在本文中，我们对FL的参与者选择技术进行了评论。首先，我们介绍FL并突出参与者选择期间的主要挑战。然后，我们根据其解决方案来审查现有研究并将其分类。最后，根据我们对该主题领域最新的分析的分析，我们为FL的参与者选择提供了一些未来的指示。

传统的深度学习方法（DL）需要在中央服务器上收集和处理的培训数据，这些中央服务器通常在保健等隐私敏感域中挑战。为此，提出了一种新的学习范式，称为联合学习（FL），在解决隐私和数据所有权问题的同时将DL的潜力带到了这些域。 FL使远程客户端能够在保持数据本地时学习共享ML模型。然而，传统的FL系统面临多种挑战，例如可扩展性，复杂的基础设施管理，并且由于空闲客户端而被浪费的计算和产生的成本。 FL系统的这些挑战与无服务器计算和功能 - AS-Service（FAAS）平台旨在解决的核心问题密切对齐。这些包括快速可扩展性，无基础设施管理，自动缩放为空闲客户端，以及每次使用付费计费模型。为此，我们为无服务器FL展示了一个新颖的系统和框架，称为不发烟。我们的系统支持多个商业和自主主机的FAAS提供商，可以在机构数据中心和边缘设备上部署在云端，内部部署。据我们所知，我们是第一个能够在一大面料的异构FAAS提供商中启用FL，同时提供安全性和差异隐私等重要功能。我们展示了全面的实验，即使用我们的系统可以成功地培训多达200个客户功能的不同任务，更容易实现。此外，我们通过将其与传统的FL系统进行比较来证明我们的方法的实际可行性，并表明它可以更便宜，更资源效率更便宜。

Federated learning (FL) is a method to train model with distributed data from numerous participants such as IoT devices. It inherently assumes a uniform capacity among participants. However, participants have diverse computational resources in practice due to different conditions such as different energy budgets or executing parallel unrelated tasks. It is necessary to reduce the computation overhead for participants with inefficient computational resources, otherwise they would be unable to finish the full training process. To address the computation heterogeneity, in this paper we propose a strategy for estimating local models without computationally intensive iterations. Based on it, we propose Computationally Customized Federated Learning (CCFL), which allows each participant to determine whether to perform conventional local training or model estimation in each round based on its current computational resources. Both theoretical analysis and exhaustive experiments indicate that CCFL has the same convergence rate as FedAvg without resource constraints. Furthermore, CCFL can be viewed of a computation-efficient extension of FedAvg that retains model performance while considerably reducing computation overhead.

联合学习（FL）是AI的新出现的分支，它有助于边缘设备进行协作训练全球机器学习模型，而无需集中数据并默认使用隐私。但是，尽管进步显着，但这种范式面临着各种挑战。具体而言，在大规模部署中，客户异质性是影响培训质量（例如准确性，公平性和时间）的规范。此外，这些电池约束设备的能源消耗在很大程度上尚未探索，这是FL的广泛采用的限制。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了EAFL，这是一种能源感知的FL选择方法，该方法考虑了能源消耗以最大程度地提高异质目标设备的参与。 \ Scheme是一种功能感知的培训算法，该算法与电池电量更高的挑选客户结合使用，并具有最大化系统效率的能力。我们的设计共同最大程度地减少了临界时间，并最大程度地提高了其余的电池电池水平。 \方案将测试模型的精度提高了高达85 \％，并将客户的辍学率降低了2.45 $ \ times $。

A fundamental challenge to providing edge-AI services is the need for a machine learning (ML) model that achieves personalization (i.e., to individual clients) and generalization (i.e., to unseen data) properties concurrently. Existing techniques in federated learning (FL) have encountered a steep tradeoff between these objectives and impose large computational requirements on edge devices during training and inference. In this paper, we propose SplitGP, a new split learning solution that can simultaneously capture generalization and personalization capabilities for efficient inference across resource-constrained clients (e.g., mobile/IoT devices). Our key idea is to split the full ML model into client-side and server-side components, and impose different roles to them: the client-side model is trained to have strong personalization capability optimized to each client's main task, while the server-side model is trained to have strong generalization capability for handling all clients' out-of-distribution tasks. We analytically characterize the convergence behavior of SplitGP, revealing that all client models approach stationary points asymptotically. Further, we analyze the inference time in SplitGP and provide bounds for determining model split ratios. Experimental results show that SplitGP outperforms existing baselines by wide margins in inference time and test accuracy for varying amounts of out-of-distribution samples.

跨不同边缘设备（客户）局部数据的分布不均匀，导致模型训练缓慢，并降低了联合学习的准确性。幼稚的联合学习（FL）策略和大多数替代解决方案试图通过加权跨客户的深度学习模型来实现更多公平。这项工作介绍了在现实世界数据集中遇到的一种新颖的非IID类型，即集群键，其中客户组具有具有相似分布的本地数据，从而导致全局模型收敛到过度拟合的解决方案。为了处理非IID数据，尤其是群集串数据的数据，我们提出了FedDrl，这是一种新型的FL模型，它采用了深厚的强化学习来适应每个客户的影响因素（将用作聚合过程中的权重）。在一组联合数据集上进行了广泛的实验证实，拟议的FEDDR可以根据CIFAR-100数据集的平均平均为FedAvg和FedProx方法提高了有利的改进，例如，高达4.05％和2.17％。

Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning paradigm that enables the training of a shared global model across distributed clients while keeping the training data local. While most prior work on designing systems for FL has focused on using stateful always running components, recent work has shown that components in an FL system can greatly benefit from the usage of serverless computing and Function-as-a-Service technologies. To this end, distributed training of models with severless FL systems can be more resource-efficient and cheaper than conventional FL systems. However, serverless FL systems still suffer from the presence of stragglers, i.e., slow clients due to their resource and statistical heterogeneity. While several strategies have been proposed for mitigating stragglers in FL, most methodologies do not account for the particular characteristics of serverless environments, i.e., cold-starts, performance variations, and the ephemeral stateless nature of the function instances. Towards this, we propose FedLesScan, a novel clustering-based semi-asynchronous training strategy, specifically tailored for serverless FL. FedLesScan dynamically adapts to the behaviour of clients and minimizes the effect of stragglers on the overall system. We implement our strategy by extending an open-source serverless FL system called FedLess. Moreover, we comprehensively evaluate our strategy using the 2nd generation Google Cloud Functions with four datasets and varying percentages of stragglers. Results from our experiments show that compared to other approaches FedLesScan reduces training time and cost by an average of 8% and 20% respectively while utilizing clients better with an average increase in the effective update ratio of 17.75%.

联合学习（FL）能够通过定期聚合培训的本地参数来在多个边缘用户执行大的分布式机器学习任务。为了解决在无线迷雾云系统上实现支持的关键挑战（例如，非IID数据，用户异质性），我们首先基于联合平均（称为FedFog）的高效流行算法来执行梯度参数的本地聚合在云端的FOG服务器和全球培训更新。接下来，我们通过调查新的网络知识的流动系统，在无线雾云系统中雇用FEDFog，这促使了全局损失和完成时间之间的平衡。然后开发了一种迭代算法以获得系统性能的精确测量，这有助于设计有效的停止标准以输出适当数量的全局轮次。为了缓解级体效果，我们提出了一种灵活的用户聚合策略，可以先培训快速用户在允许慢速用户加入全局培训更新之前获得一定程度的准确性。提供了使用若干现实世界流行任务的广泛数值结果来验证FEDFOG的理论融合。我们还表明，拟议的FL和通信的共同设计对于在实现学习模型的可比准确性的同时，基本上提高资源利用是必要的。
