More and more edge devices are linked with the network along with the digital transformation of society and the rapid development of the Internet of things. A large number of edge devices produce a large amount of data which challenges the IOT network with cloud computing as the core computing power. The edge computing can save network bandwidth and reduce delay as the extension and supplement of cloud computing on the one hand; on the other hand, the characteristics of multiple mobile devices based on edge computing make it very suitable to realize big data fusion with the Federated Learning framework, the privacy and security of users can be greatly improved by edge computing based on Federated Learning, the data silos can be broken and a more intelligent Internet of things can be achieved. This paper summarizes the common algorithms of Federated Learning based on edge computing, analyzes the existing challenges, and summarizes the corresponding algorithms.
