Although the challenge of the device connection is much relieved in 5G networks, the training latency is still an obstacle preventing Federated Learning (FL) from being largely adopted. One of the most fundamental problems that lead to large latency is the bad candidate-selection for FL. In the dynamic environment, the mobile devices selected by the existing reactive candidate-selection algorithms very possibly fail to complete the training and reporting phases of FL, because the FL parameter server only knows the currently-observed resources of all candidates. To this end, we study the proactive candidate-selection for FL in this paper. We first let each candidate device predict the qualities of both its training and reporting phases locally using LSTM. Then, the proposed candidateselection algorithm is implemented by the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework. Finally, the real-world trace-driven experiments prove that the proposed approach outperforms the existing reactive algorithms
