  • 分离共享主干与本地个性化头,缓解数据差异影响。
  • 按梯度大小选前α个设备更新主干,提升效率。
  • 适合资源受限的远程传感网络场景。

联邦学习(FL)是一种在保护数据隐私的同时提升边缘设备学习能力的有效范式。在地理分散的系统中,如偏远地区的传感器网络,无人机(UAV)可灵活建立高质量通信链路以支持参数交换。然而,设备异构性和无人机有限的电池容量带来显著挑战:数据异构性导致收敛缓慢,而调度所有设备进行全局协作会引发过高的通信和能耗。为解决这些问题,本文采用严格分离全局共享主干与永久本地个性化头的设计,从而减轻数据异构性的影响。此外,提出一种基于梯度的调度策略,兼顾能效与学习性能。每轮通信中,仅由梯度ℓ₂-范数排名前α的设备更新主干,确保优化聚焦于最具有信息量的更新。仿真结果表明,该方案在保持更高学习准确率的同时,显著降低无人机能耗。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated learning (FL) is an effective paradigm for enhancing the learning capability of edge devices while preserving data privacy. In geographically dispersed FL systems, such as sensor networks in remote areas, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can flexibly establish high-quality communication links to support parameter exchange. However, device heterogeneity and the limited battery capacity of UAVs pose significant challenges. Specifically, data heterogeneity slows convergence, while scheduling all devices for global collaboration incurs excessive communication and energy costs. To overcome these challenges, we adopt a strict separation between a globally shared backbone and permanently local personalization heads, thereby mitigating the impact of data heterogeneity. Furthermore, we propose a gradient-based scheduling strategy that jointly considers energy efficiency and learning performance. In each communication round, the backbone is updated only by the top-$α$ devices ranked by gradient $\ell_{2}$-norm, ensuring that optimization focuses on the most informative updates. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves higher learning accuracy than state-of-the-art approaches while significantly reducing UAV energy consumption.
