D2D computation task offloading for efficient federated learning by Xiaoran CAI, Xiaopeng MO, Jie XU

“…Federated learning is a kind of distributed machine learning technique.The factor of communication and computation resource constraints at the edge node is becoming the performance bottleneck.In particular,when different edge node has distinct computation and communication capabilities,the model training performance may degrade severely,thus necessitating the joint communication and computation optimization.To tackle this challenge,a computational task offloading scheme enabled by device-to-device (D2D) communications was proposed,in which different edge node exchanged data samples via D2D communication links to balance the processing capability and task load,in order to minimize the total time delay for machine learning model training.Simulation results show that compared to the benchmark scheme without such D2D task offloading the training speed and efficiency of federated learning has be improved significantly.…”

Energy efficient resource allocation scheme for AF relay downlink system by Yu CHEN, Xu-ming FANG, Bo HUANG

“…In order to maximize the total energy efficiency of amplify-and-forward relay downlink system,a joint scheme of relay selection and power allocation was proposed with the circuit power of the system.For reducing the computa-tional complexity,a step-by-step suboptimal allocation scheme was provided.Firstly,the virtual direct channel gains were adopted to select appropriate transmission link.Meanwhile,relay system was converted to the single hop system.Then,the power allocation could be solved by convex optimization.Besides,in order to accommodate different user distribu-tions,a resource allocation scheme based on cell zooming was also proposed.Simulations demonstrated that the solution of the proposed suboptimal scheme approaches the optimal solution.Additionally,the scheme with cell zooming is adaptable to different user distributions and further improves the total system energy efficiency.…”
