摘要

This chapter focuses on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted FEEL system, where the UAV is in charge of coordinating distributed model training among ground devices. The UAV’s high altitude and mobility are leveraged to establish short-distance line-of-sight links with devices, preventing any single device from becoming a communication bottleneck. This approach accelerates model aggregation and reduces cumulative model loss due to device scheduling, thereby decreasing the overall completion time. We illustrate the impact of device scheduling on the convergence of the FEEL system and formulate a training time minimization problem with respect to device scheduling and UAV trajectory, followed by developing an alternating Lagrange dual ascent algorithm.
