Abstract

Federated learning (FL) has been proposed as an emerging distributed machine learning framework, which lowers the risk of privacy leakage by training models without uploading original data. Therefore, it has been widely utilized in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Despite this, FL still faces challenges including the non-independent identically distributed (Non-IID) data and heterogeneity of devices, which may cause difficulties in model convergence. To address these issues, a local surrogate function is initially constructed for each device to ensure a smooth decline in global loss. Subsequently, aiming to minimize the system energy consumption, an FL approach for joint CPU frequency control and bandwidth allocation, called FCBAFL is proposed. Specifically, the maximum delay of a single round is first treated as a uniform delay constraint, and a limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno bounded (L-BFGS-B) algorithm is employed to find the optimal bandwidth allocation with a fixed CPU frequency. Following that, the result is utilized to derive the optimal CPU frequency. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed FCBAFL algorithm exhibits more excellent convergence compared with baseline algorithm, and outperforms other schemes in declining the energy consumption.
