Partially-Observable Transmission Control for UAV-Enabled Federated Learning in IoT Networks

- 构建基于包级传输的建模,用伯努利掩码模拟部分更新接收。
- 在部分可观测下联合优化阈值与功率,提升平均和最差包接收率。
- 适合关注无人机物联网中联邦学习可靠性的研究人员。
无人飞行器(UAV)支持的联邦学习可为大规模物联网部署提供灵活、按需的边缘智能,但共享非授权频段导致上行更新传输存在干扰耦合且不可靠。本文提出一种包级传输框架,捕捉缓冲区溢出、延迟越界和传输错误,并利用包交付率(PDR)表示通过打包伯努利掩码联邦聚合过程的部分更新接收。随后构建公平-共识双层(FCB)优化模型,联合控制:(i) 传输阈值以在部分可观测下最大化平均PDR并实现共识;(ii) 传输功率以改善最差PDR并保障物联网学习者间的公平性。为求解该问题,提出交替式FCB优化器,包含基于共识的阈值控制器(CTC),驱动物联网学习者在传输阈值上达成高PDR效率的共识;以及基于公平性的功率控制器(FPC),在所得共识阈值下调整发射功率以提升最差PDR并确保公平性。基于CNN的联邦学习任务的数值结果表明,该优化器通过增强包级更新交付,显著提升联邦聚合与训练性能,持续优于基线传输策略。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled federated learning (FL) can provide flexible, on-demand edge intelligence for large-scale IoT deployments, but operating in shared unlicensed bands makes uplink update delivery interference-coupled and unreliable. In this paper, we develop a packet-level transmission framework that captures buffer overflow, delay violations, and transmission errors, and uses the resulting packet delivery ratio (PDR) to represent partial-update reception through a packetized, Bernoulli-masked FL aggregation process. We then formulate a fairness-consensus bilevel (FCB) optimization that jointly controls (i) transmission thresholds to maximize the average PDR while reaching consensus under partial observability and (ii) transmission powers to improve the worst PDR and enforce fairness across IoT learners. To solve this problem, we propose an alternating FCB optimizer composed of a consensus-based threshold controller (CTC), which drives the IoT learners toward a PDR-efficient consensus on transmission thresholds, and a fairness-based power controller (FPC), which updates transmission powers to improve the worst PDR and ensure fairness under the resulting consensus thresholds. Numerical results on CNN-based FL tasks show that the FCB optimizer improves FL aggregation and training performance by enhancing packet-level update delivery, consistently outperforming baseline transmission policies.
