Client Selection Based on Channel Capacity for Federated Learning Under Wireless Channels
Satoshi Yamazaki, Takuma Furuki · 2023
This paper proposes a user selection scheme for federated learning (FL) over wireless networks to reduce communication time based on channel capacity. In particular, the edge server calculates the Shannon channel capacity of each client for each round, and clients with a certain threshold capacity are randomly selected to participate in FL. We show that the convergence time of the proposed scheme outperformed that of the conventional scheme through computer simulation based on an image processing task under a wireless channel with pass-loss, shadowing, and Rician flat-fading. Moreover, the superiority of FL to centralized learning (CL) regarding total time is demonstrated theoretically and validated through computer simulation.
