Abstract
Federated learning (FL) is a popular edge learning approach that utilizes local data and computing resources of network edge devices to train machine learning (ML) models while preserving users’ privacy. Nevertheless, performing efficient learning tasks on the devices and achieving longer battery life are primary challenges faced by federated learning. In this paper, we are the first to study the application of heterogeneous computing (HC) and wireless power transfer (WPT) to federated learning to address these challenges. Especially, we propose a heterogeneous computation and resource allocation framework based on a heterogeneous mobile architecture to achieve effective implementation of FL. To minimize the energy consumption of smart devices and maximize their harvesting energy simultaneously, we formulate an optimization problem featuring multidimensional control, which jointly considers time splitting for WPT, dataset size allocation, transmit power allocation and subcarrier assignment during communications, and processor frequency of processing units (central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU)). However, the major obstacle is how to design a proper algorithm to solve this optimization problem efficiently. For this purpose, we decouple the optimization variables so as to achieve high efficiency in deriving its solution. Particularly, we first compute the optimal processor frequency and dataset size allocation via employing the Lagrangian dual method, followed by finding the closed-form solution to the optimal time splitting allocation, and finally attain the optimal subcarrier assignment as well as transmit power for transmissions through an iteration algorithm. To evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme, we set up four baseline schemes as comparison, and simulation results show that the proposed scheme converges quite fast and better enhance the energy efficiency of the wireless powered FL system compared with the baseline schemes.
