The paper investigates how enterprise wireless access points (APs) can run predictive machine learning models while sharing CPU and memory with essential networking tasks. It introduces the concept of network‑aware deployability, requiring models to qualify for the AP’s hardware and to be validated under real packet‑service constraints. Benchmarks reveal that models can run 6–19× slower and use up to 22% more memory on an AP compared to a Raspberry Pi 5, and that even similarly sized forecasting models can differ by 19× in latency, leading to significant increases in round‑trip time and throughput degradation under load.

Enterprise wireless access points (APs) are promising platforms for predictive machine learning (ML), but their primary responsibility remains providing wireless connectivity and network services. Pre...
Decentralized intelligence systems with heterogeneous devices and limited coordination increasingly rely on decentralized federated learning (DFL). However, DFL suffers from convergence inefficiency under data heterogeneity due to the use of a uniform learning rate (LR) that ignores layer-specific optimization needs.

BIPPO (Budget-aware Independent Proximal Policy Optimization) is a multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework designed for energy‑efficient client selection in federated learning (FL) over IoT systems. It addresses infrastructure constraints such as limited resources and device churn, which traditional FL and RL approaches overlook. Evaluated on two image‑classification tasks with non‑IID data, BIPPO improves mean accuracy over non‑RL methods, standard PPO, and IPPO while consuming only a negligible portion of the budget, even as client numbers grow.

The paper introduces a dynamic framework for partitioning neural network layers across a heterogeneous edge‑cloud continuum, adapting to runtime changes in network conditions and device capabilities. It profiles models at startup, measures link quality, and periodically re‑evaluates the partitioning to optimize performance. Experiments on a Raspberry Pi, laptop, and desktop using VGG16, AlexNet, and MobileNetV2 demonstrate energy savings of 27.09–35.82% and latency reductions of 6.34–22.92% over static partitioning.

arXiv:2608. 00855v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled federated learning (FL) can provide flexible, on-demand edge intelligence for large-scale IoT deployments, but operating in shared unlicensed bands makes uplink update delivery interference-coupled and unreliable.
