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underrepresented due to partial model reception, and update staleness, where asynchronous nodes contribute outdated information.

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.
Wireless Internet-of-Things (IoT) edge networks require decentralized learning (DecL) methods that can operate reliably under both heterogeneous local data and communication-constrained wireless links...
The paper introduces QEF-GT-AdamW, a communication‑efficient and outage‑resilient algorithm for decentralized wireless federated learning. It combines gradient tracking, AdamW adaptive optimization, and dual‑stream biased quantization with error feedback to reduce communication payloads while mitigating non‑IID data effects. The method includes a local fallback strategy for unreliable broadcasts and provides convergence guarantees under compressed, unreliable wireless communication, demonstrating improved robustness and accuracy‑communication trade‑offs on heterogeneous MNIST and CIFAR‑10 datasets.

The paper introduces FedSWE, a federated learning algorithm designed to handle non‑stationary and heterogeneous client availability without requiring prior real‑time knowledge of which devices are online. FedSWE compensates for missed computations, stabilizes global updates, and mixes local updates through implicit gossiping, all while adding only modest memory and computational overhead. The authors prove that FedSWE converges to a stationary point for non‑convex objectives and achieves linear speedup in certain scenarios, and they validate these claims with experiments on real‑world datasets featuring diverse client unavailability patterns.
