TDMA-based user scheduling policies for federated learning by Meixia TAO, Dong WANG, Rui SUN, Naifu ZHANG

“…To improve the communication efficiency in FL (federated learning), for the scenario with heterogeneous edge user's computing capacity and channel state, a class of time division multiple access (TDMA) based user scheduling policies were proposed for FL.The proposed policies aim to minimize the system delay in each round of model training subject to a given sample size constraint required for computing in each round.In addition, the convergence rate of the proposed scheduling algorithms was analyzed from a theoretical perspective to study the tradeoff between the convergence performance and the total system delay.The selection of the optimal batch size was further analyzed.Simulation results show that the convergence rate of the proposed algorithm is at least 30% higher than all the considered benchmarks.…”
