A Cross-Layer FL-Based Clustering Protocol to Support Multicast Routing in IoT-Enabled MANETs With CF-mMIMO by Amalia Amalia, Yushintia Pramitarini, Ridho Hendra Yoga Perdana, Kyusung Shim, Beongku An

“…This paper proposes a novel cross-layer federated learning (FL)-based clustering (CFLC) protocol to support multicast routing in internet of things (IoT)-enabled mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) with cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-mMIMO). The proposed CFLC protocol leverages cross-layer and FL approaches to enhance network stability and connectivity by optimizing cluster head (CH) selection and cluster formation. …”
