Version age-based client scheduling policy for federated learning

Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a privacy-preserving machine learning paradigm facilitating collaborative training across multiple clients without sharing local data. Despite advancements in edge device capabilities, communication bottlenecks present challenges in aggregating a large number of clients; only a portion of the clients can update their parameters upon each global aggregation. This phenomenon introduces the critical challenge of stragglers in FL and the profound impact of client scheduling policies on global model convergence and stability. Existing scheduling strategies address …
