The popular federated edge learning (FEEL) framework allows privacy-preserving collaborative model training via frequent learning-updates exchange between edge devices and server. Due to the constrained bandwidth, only a subset of devices can upload their updates at each communication round. This has led to an active research area in FEEL studying the optimal device scheduling policy for minimizing communication time. However, owing to the difficulty in quantifying the exact communication time, prior work in this area can only tackle the problem partially by considering either the communication rounds or per-round latency, while the total communication time is determined by both metrics. To close this gap, we make the first attempt in this paper to formulate and solve the communication time minimization problem. We first derive a tight bound to approximate the communication time through cross-disciplinary effort involving both learning theory for convergence analysis and communication theory for per-round latency analysis. Building on the analytical result, an optimized probabilistic scheduling policy is derived in closed-form by solving the approximate communication time minimization problem. It is found that the optimized policy gradually turns its priority from suppressing the remaining communication rounds to reducing per-round latency as the training process evolves. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated via a use case on collaborative 3D objective detection in autonomous driving.

Federated Learning (FL) is a newly emerged decentralized machine learning (ML) framework that combines on-device local training with server-based model synchronization to train a centralized ML model over distributed nodes. In this paper, we propose an asynchronous FL framework with periodic aggregation to eliminate the straggler issue in FL systems. For the proposed model, we investigate several device scheduling and update aggregation policies and compare their performances when the devices have heterogeneous computation capabilities and training data distributions. From the simulation results, we conclude that the scheduling and aggregation design for asynchronous FL can be rather different from the synchronous case. For example, a norm-based significance-aware scheduling policy might not be efficient in an asynchronous FL setting, and an appropriate age-aware weighting design for the model aggregation can greatly improve the learning performance of such systems.
Owing to the increasing need for massive data analysis and model training at the network edge, as well as the rising concerns about the data privacy, a new distributed training framework called federated learning (FL) has emerged. In each iteration o f FL (called round), the edge devices update local models based on their own data and contribute to the global training by uploading the model updates via wireless channels. Due to the limited spectrum resources, only a portion of the devices can be scheduled in each round. While most of the existing work on scheduling focuses on the convergence of FL w.r.t. rounds, the convergence performance under a total training time budget is not yet explored. In this paper, a joint bandwidth allocation and scheduling problem is formulated to capture the long-term convergence performance of FL, and is solved by being decoupled into two sub-problems. For the bandwidth allocation sub-problem, the derived optimal solution suggests to allocate more bandwidth to the devices with worse channel conditions or weaker computation capabilities. For the device scheduling sub-problem, by revealing the trade-off between the number of rounds required to attain a certain model accuracy and the latency per round, a greedy policy is inspired, that continuously selects the device that consumes the least time in model updating until achieving a good trade-off between the learning efficiency and latency per round. The experiments show that the proposed policy outperforms other state-of-the-art scheduling policies, with the best achievable model accuracy under training time budgets.
The conventional federated learning (FedL) architecture distributes machine learning (ML) across worker devices by having them train local models that are periodically aggregated by a server. FedL ignores two important characteristics of contemporary wireless networks, however: (i) the network may contain heterogeneous communication/computation resources, while (ii) there may be significant overlaps in devices local data distributions. In this work, we develop a novel optimization methodology that jointly accounts for these factors via intelligent device sampling complemented by device-to-device (D2D) offloading. Our optimization aims to select the best combination of sampled nodes and data offloading configuration to maximize FedL training accuracy subject to realistic constraints on the network topology and device capabilities. Theoretical analysis of the D2D offloading subproblem leads to new FedL convergence bounds and an efficient sequential convex optimizer. Using this result, we develop a sampling methodology based on graph convolutional networks (GCNs) which learns the relationship between network attributes, sampled nodes, and resulting offloading that maximizes FedL accuracy. Through evaluation on real-world datasets and network measurements from our IoT testbed, we find that our methodology while sampling less than 5% of all devices outperforms conventional FedL substantially both in terms of trained model accuracy and required resource utilization.

Bandwidth slicing is introduced to support federated learning in edge computing to assure low communication delay for training traffic. Results reveal that bandwidth slicing significantly improves training efficiency while achieving good learning accuracy.
This paper considers the problem of service placement and task scheduling on a three-tiered edge-to-cloud platform when user requests must be met by a certain deadline. Time-sensitive applications (e.g., augmented reality, gaming, real-time video ana lysis) have tight constraints that must be met. With multiple possible computation centers, the where and when of solving these requests becomes paramount when meeting their deadlines. We formulate the problem of meeting users deadlines while minimizing the total cost of the edge-to-cloud service provider as an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problem. We show the NP-hardness of this problem, and propose two heuristics based on making decisions on a local vs global scale. We vary the number of users, the QoS constraint, and the cost difference between remote cloud and cloudlets(edge clouds), and run multiple Monte-Carlo runs for each case. Our simulation results show that the proposed heuristics are performing close to optimal while reducing the complexity.
