Energy-Efficient Wireless Resource Allocation for Heterogeneous Federated Multitask Networks Based on Evolutionary Learning

With the continuous development of 6G technology and the Internet of Things, small terminal devices are gradually joining deep model training through wireless networks, leading to the evolution of federated learning. In comparison to traditional centralized learning, federated learning not only leverages the computational power of individual terminals but also ensures the security of terminal data. However, the increasing number of devices poses new requirements on resource utilization in federated learning at scale. In this paper, we aim to address these challenges by proposing an energy-efficient and adaptive resource allocation strategy for wireless heterogeneous layered federated learning model (HLFLM). Specifically, we deploy both macro base stations and multiple micro base stations to construct a HLFLM, and perform resource allocation for subcarriers and power optimization. This approach focuses on optimizing energy consumption in federated learning networks while enhancing scalability and real-time performance of wireless communication. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in medium-sized scenarios.
