Convergence-Latency-Aware Adaptive Modulation and Resource Allocation in RIS-Assisted Wireless Federated Learning

Federated learning (FL) over wireless networks suffers from significant training latency and degraded convergence due to unreliable wireless transmission, especially under blocked propagation environments. Although reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can improve communication reliability, existing wireless FL studies rarely characterize the trade-off between learning convergence and communication delay under modulation-dependent transmission errors.

Learned Digital Over-the-Air Computing for Federated Edge Learning

arXiv:2509. 16577v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Over-the-air (OTA) aggregation enables federated edge learning (FEEL) by exploiting the superposition property of the wireless channel to merge communication with computation, eliminating the need to schedule and decode devices individually.

Hidden in Rounds: Predicting the Time Cost of 802.11 Contention in Federated Learning

The paper investigates how the time cost of 802.11 contention affects federated learning. Using ns-3 simulations, the authors measure frame-delivery ratios and saturation throughput across various client densities and offered loads, then employ a FedAvg trainer that uses these ratios to estimate communication time. Across 720 runs with diverse datasets, partitions, densities, loads, and seeds, all models reached target accuracy within the round budget, with communication time-to-target increasing significantly as client density rose. The study also compares uniform and persistent heterogeneous participation, finding no statistically significant accuracy gap, though confidence intervals are wide. The results are specific to the evaluated configurations and do not generalize to all convergence or fairness scenarios.
