FedQoS: Federated QoS-Risk Learning for Heterogeneous Indoor-Outdoor Access Selection

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.

Cluster-Aware Over-the-Air Federated Learning with Energy-Harvesting Devices: From Global Training to Model Personalization

arXiv:2608. 01426v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables distributed optimization and learning across decentralized edge devices while preserving data privacy, but its performance is fundamentally constrained by heterogeneous data distributions, limited communication resources, and energy availability.

Utility-Aware DRL-Based TXOP Adaptation for NR-U and Wi-Fi Coexistence Networks

arXiv:2605. 00457v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The coexistence of NR-U and Wi-Fi in the unlicensed spectrum introduces a challenging resource management problem, where heterogeneous channel access mechanisms can lead to unbalanced spectrum utilization and severe Wi-Fi performance degradation.

Unified Robust and Convergent Over-The-Air Federated Learning under Channel Noise and Heterogeneity

The paper introduces RoCo-FL, a robust and convergent framework for Over-the-Air Federated Learning that addresses channel noise, fading, and data/system heterogeneity. RoCo-FL models local updates with inexact optimization and a proximal constraint to stabilize updates under wireless impairments and stragglers. The authors provide convergence guarantees for non-convex objectives and demonstrate improved stability and accuracy on CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and FEMNIST compared to existing baselines.

QoS-Aware Federated Learning for Multimodal In-Cabin Interaction in Smart Vehicles

The paper introduces FedQoS, an asynchronous federated learning framework designed for multimodal in‑cabin interaction in smart vehicles. It uses a two‑phase gating mechanism: a resource‑aware training gate that starts local learning only when sensing buffers and energy reserves meet safety thresholds, and a QoS‑aware transmission policy that gates uplink updates based on an efficiency score balancing model novelty, latency, and energy costs. Experiments on vehicular datasets show FedQoS achieves competitive personalized accuracy with only marginal loss compared to FedAvg, while reducing communication overhead by 76.7% and latency cost by 26.0%.

O-RAN-Native Jamming Detection Under Network Heterogeneity

The paper introduces a Statistical Ensemble Method (SEM) for detecting radio‑frequency jamming in Open Radio Access Network (O‑RAN) environments. SEM combines adaptive Median Absolute Deviation, count‑based anomaly detection, and abrupt change detection, operating in both cold‑start and supervised modes. Experiments on 25 hours of data from eight heterogeneous 5G testbeds show that SEM retains recall under distribution shifts where machine‑learning models falter, and its parameters can be deployed as an O‑RAN rApp for continuous refinement.
