METHOD FOR PERFORMING FEDERATED LEARNING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18024889 titled 'METHOD FOR PERFORMING FEDERATED LEARNING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for base stations in a wireless communication system to perform federated learning. Federated learning is a machine learning approach where multiple devices collaborate to train a shared model without sharing their raw data.

  • The base station receives local parameters from multiple terminals.
  • It obtains an integrated parameter by combining the local parameters.
  • The integrated parameter is then transmitted back to each terminal.
  • The method removes biases in the local parameters using the collective information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Artificial intelligence: The base station and terminals can be linked to an AI module, allowing for collaborative learning and improved AI capabilities.
  • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs): UAVs can benefit from federated learning to enhance their navigation and decision-making abilities.
  • Robotics: Federated learning can be used to train robots collectively, enabling them to learn from each other's experiences and improve their performance.
  • Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR): The technology can be applied to AR and VR devices to enhance user experiences and provide personalized content.
  • 6G services: The base station and terminals can be utilized in the development of future 6G services, leveraging federated learning for improved network performance and user satisfaction.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Privacy concerns: By performing federated learning, the raw data from individual terminals is not shared, addressing privacy issues associated with centralized data collection.
  • Communication efficiency: Instead of transmitting large amounts of data to a central server, the integrated parameter is sent back to each terminal, reducing communication overhead.
  • Bias removal: The method removes biases in the local parameters, ensuring fair and accurate learning across all terminals.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved privacy: Users can participate in collaborative learning without compromising the privacy of their data.
  • Enhanced learning performance: By combining local parameters, the integrated parameter can provide a more comprehensive and accurate representation of the collective knowledge.
  • Reduced communication costs: Transmitting the integrated parameter instead of raw data reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, leading to more efficient communication.
  • Scalability: The method can be applied to a large number of terminals, allowing for scalable federated learning in wireless communication systems.
