针对低轨卫星网络设计半监督联邦学习框架,显著降低时延与能耗。

A Semi-Supervised Federated Learning Framework with Hierarchical Clustering Aggregation for Heterogeneous Satellite Networks

  • 分两阶段聚类聚合,结合半监督学习提升异构环境收敛性。
  • 处理时间减少3倍,能耗降低4倍,精度保持不变。
  • 适合资源受限、标签稀疏的低轨卫星智能协同场景。

低地球轨道(LEO)卫星正成为6G网络的关键组成部分,已部署大量卫星以支持大规模地球观测与感知任务。联邦学习(FL)为这些资源受限且动态变化的环境提供了分布式智能的可行范式。然而,在异构且部分无标签的卫星网络中,实现可靠收敛,同时最小化处理时间和能量消耗,仍是重大挑战。为此,我们提出一种面向LEO卫星网络的新型半监督联邦学习框架,采用分层聚类聚合机制。为进一步降低通信开销,集成稀疏化与自适应权重量化技术。此外,将联邦聚类分为两个阶段:卫星簇聚合阶段和地面站(GS)聚合阶段。在地面站进行的有监督学习引导选定的参数服务器(PS)卫星,进而支持全无标签卫星的联邦训练过程。在卫星网络测试平台上的大量实验表明,相比其他对比方法,本方案可显著降低处理时间(最多3倍)和能量消耗(最多4倍),同时保持模型精度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are emerging as key components of 6G networks, with many already deployed to support large-scale Earth observation and sensing related tasks. Federated Learning (FL) presents a promising paradigm for enabling distributed intelligence in these resource-constrained and dynamic environments. However, achieving reliable convergence, while minimizing both processing time and energy consumption, remains a substantial challenge, particularly in heterogeneous and partially unlabeled satellite networks. To address this challenge, we propose a novel semi-supervised federated learning framework tailored for LEO satellite networks with hierarchical clustering aggregation. To further reduce communication overhead, we integrate sparsification and adaptive weight quantization techniques. In addition, we divide the FL clustering into two stages: satellite cluster aggregation stage and Ground Stations (GSs) aggregation stage. The supervised learning at GSs guides selected Parameter Server (PS) satellites, which in turn support fully unlabeled satellites during the federated training process. Extensive experiments conducted on a satellite network testbed demonstrate that our proposal can significantly reduce processing time (up to 3x) and energy consumption (up to 4x) compared to other comparative methods while maintaining model accuracy.
