arXiv:2607. 21876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate a decentralized reinforcement learning problem involving multiple agents that interact with the same Markov Decision Process (MDP).
The paper introduces Robust Fed-Q, a federated Q‑learning algorithm designed for settings where multiple agents interact with a shared Markov Decision Process and communicate through a central server. It combines model‑based and model‑free reinforcement learning techniques with a median‑of‑means strategy from robust statistics to handle a small fraction of adversarial agents. The authors prove that Robust Fed-Q achieves exact convergence to the optimal value function with high probability, attains near‑optimal finite‑time rates that benefit from collaboration, and requires only “~O(1)” communication rounds per guarantee.

arXiv:2606. 10774v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Decentralized Federated Learning(DFL) enables collaborative model training across wireless edge nodes, including IoT deployments, autonomous vehicles, UAV swarms, and satellite constellations.
FedQoS is a federated learning framework that predicts future QoS failure probabilities for candidate access links in dynamic indoor‑outdoor environments, enabling reliable access‑node selection without centralizing user data. Each access node trains locally on its network logs, while a global QoS‑risk predictor is built through federated aggregation. Simulations using physics‑based synthetic datasets show that FedQoS reduces QoS‑failure rates compared to signal‑based and historical‑QoS heuristics, achieving near‑centralized performance even under non‑IID data conditions.
Reliable access selection in dynamic and heterogeneous indoor-outdoor environments is challenging because instantaneous radio measurements alone cannot capture future QoS degradation caused by mobilit...

arXiv:2606. 10774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decentralized Federated Learning (DFL) over lossy wireless networks faces two key challenges: selection bias, where updates from poor-quality links are systematically underrepresented due to partial model reception, and update staleness, where asynchronous nodes contribute outdated information.
