Abstract
Federated Learning (FL) is a collaborative paradigm in machine learning that has become a powerful tool, enabling the training of models across decentralized devices. This study explores the intersection of Federated Learning with Edge Devices (FLEDs), concentrating on the complexities of deploying machine learning models at the edge. Edge devices, known for their restricted computational capabilities and intermittent connectivity, present distinct challenges and opportunities for FL. This research systematically addresses these challenges and emphasizes the significance of FL across a wide range of practical applications. The exploration commences with a thorough review of existing literature, clarifying the dynamic landscape of Federated Learning and Edge Computing while identifying areas that merit further investigation. Subsequently, the study delves into challenges specific to FLEDs, such as computational limitations and varying network conditions, opening avenues for tailored solutions. The proposed solutions involve sophisticated model compression algorithms, communication protocols, and adaptive learning strategies tailored for FLEDs. Experimental results showcase the effectiveness of these approaches, highlighting improvements in model convergence, accuracy, and the efficient use of resources across diverse edge devices. In discussing the practical applications of Federated Learning for Edge Devices, this paper presents detailed case studies to underscore the versatility and impact of the approach. In the healthcare sector, FLEDs facilitate collaborative model training on decentralized patient data, ensuring privacy while advancing personalized medicine. In the Internet of Things (IoT) domain, edge devices collaboratively learn from each other, supporting context-aware decision-making and energy-efficient operations. Smart cities leverage FLEDs for traffic prediction, optimizing traffic flow without compromising individual privacy and contributing to resilient and efficient urban infrastructure. Privacy and security considerations are integral to FL deployment, and the paper addresses these concerns by exploring privacy-preserving techniques applicable to FLEDs. This ensures the secure and confidential handling of decentralized data, fostering trust in collaborative learning environments. In conclusion, the paper outlines future directions for Federated Learning in Edge Devices, emphasizing its potential in diverse applications such as industrial IoT, environmental monitoring, and disaster response. These findings contribute to the broader discussion on decentralized, privacy-preserving machine learning applications, showcasing FL's transformative impact on addressing real-world challenges.
