Ampere is a new split federated learning system that reduces both on‑device computation and device‑server communication while improving accuracy. It trains device and server blocks sequentially with local losses, eliminating gradient transfers, and uses a lightweight auxiliary network to consolidate activations into a single transfer. Experiments on CNNs and Transformers show up to 11.70 pp accuracy gains, 18.6× faster training, 911× less communication, and 14.5× less computation compared to state‑of‑the‑art SFL baselines.

The paper introduces GQ-FSL, a green quantized federated split learning framework designed for wireless edge networks. It uses stochastic quantization for both local training and wireless transmissions, allowing asymmetric precision between client and server submodels to balance device energy limits with global convergence. The authors develop energy models and a convergence bound for heterogeneous data, then formulate an optimization problem to set the DNN split point and precision levels, achieving lower energy consumption while meeting latency and accuracy targets.

Federated learning (FL) over wireless networks suffers from significant training latency and degraded convergence due to unreliable wireless transmission, especially under blocked propagation environments. Although reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can improve communication reliability, existing wireless FL studies rarely characterize the trade-off between learning convergence and communication delay under modulation-dependent transmission errors.
