- Abstract
- This paper designs a novel energy-efficient hybrid federated and centralized learning (HFCL) framework for training wireless traffic prediction models in aerial networks over distributed multi-access edge computing (MEC) servers where multiple network data analytics functions (NWDAFs) are embedded in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided MEC servers according to the framework standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specification. Here, UAVs can use federated learning (FL) with their part of local datasets, while the remaining local datasets can be offloaded to the centralized server for centralized learning (CL). To achieve such HFCL energy-efficiently for battery-constrained UAVs, we propose an energy-efficient computation offloading (ECO) scheme for the HFCL. We rigorously formulate analytical models for the overall energy consumption at MEC servers on UAVs and total latency for HFCL process based on the amount of offloaded datasets at each UAV. Here the energy consumption includes i) the transmission energy consumption for offloading the local dataset and ii) the energy consumption for FL processing, which includes local training and local model uploading. To balance between the overall energy consumption and total latency during HFCL process while preventing overload at UAVs, we propose a theoretical framework for the ECO problem that optimizes the amount of offloaded local datasets over multiple UAVs on aerial networks. Here, the ECO problem is formulated as the convex optimization problem under the continuous domain of the amount of offloaded datasets. Our numerical and simulation results show that our proposed framework can construct wireless traffic prediction models with an acceptable training accuracy in an energy-efficient manner over various benchmarks by striking a balance between energy consumption and overall training latency.
