Abstract

Machine learning (ML) is a promising enabler for the fifth-generation (5G) communication systems and beyond. By imbuing intelligence into the network edge, edge nodes can proactively carry out decision-making and, thereby, react to local environmental changes and disturbances while experiencing zero communication latency. To achieve this goal, it is essential to cater for high ML inference accuracy at scale under the time-varying channel and network dynamics, by continuously exchanging fresh data and ML model updates in a distributed way. Taming this new kind of data traffic boils down to improving the communication efficiency of distributed learning by optimizing communication payload types, transmission techniques, and scheduling, as well as ML architectures, algorithms, and data processing methods. To this end, this article aims to provide a holistic overview of relevant communication and ML principles and, thereby, present communication-efficient and distributed learning frameworks with selected use cases.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • FedAvg makes the limited assumption that all IoT device clients join in each communication round for FL training.

    “Indeed, the well-known FL algorithm FedAvg makes limited assumption that all IoT device clients join in each communication round for FL training [192]”

    From Federated Learning for Internet of Things: A Comprehensive Survey (2021) · cites this paper as [192]

    Section 3.1 (p. 3) describes FL workers periodically uploading model parameters and the server broadcasting a global model to all workers. It does not say that FedAvg assumes every IoT client participates in every communication round; searches for FedAvg and all-client participation found no passage establishing that assumption.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
