Abstract
Detection of a straggler user equipment in federated learning over an air interface is provided. A method for detection of a straggler user equipment in federated learning may include identifying one or more straggler devices among a plurality of user devices and suspending transmission of an aggregated model to the one or more straggler devices for local model training. The method may also include resuming the transmission of the aggregated model to at least one of the one or more straggler devices for the local model training.
Claims23
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- identify one or more straggler devices among a plurality of user devices;
- suspend transmission of an aggregated model to the one or more straggler devices for local model training;
- and
- resume the transmission of the aggregated model to at least one of the one or more straggler devices for the local model training.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- transmit, to a network entity, a locally trained model generated from local model training;
- receive, from the network entity, an indication that the apparatus is identified as a straggler device and that transmission of an aggregated model is suspended;
- and
- resume receiving, from the network entity, the aggregated model based on determining a reduction in a delay in transmitting the locally trained model.
