Adaptive Joint Compression and Synchronisation in Federated Split Learning for IoT Rainfall Prediction

arXiv:2606. 25003v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated split learning (FSL) enables collaborative training across bandwidth-constrained IoT devices, but repeated activation and gradient exchange creates a communication bot-tleneck.

A Low-Cost IoT Device for Environmental Monitoring and Embedded Solar Forecasting with On-Device Incremental Learning

arXiv:2608. 14698v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hyperlocal meteorological sensing is essential for accurate solar photovoltaic forecasting, yet professional-grade meteorological stations require investments easily exceeding 1000~USD per node, making distributed deployments economically inaccessible.

Network-Aware Forecasting on Wireless Access Points

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.

BIPPO: Budget-Aware Independent PPO for Energy-Efficient Federated Learning Services

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.

Adaptive AI Task Partitioning and Safe Offloading in Heterogeneous Edge-Cloud Continuum

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.
