arXiv:2605.25212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is an effective paradigm for enhancing the learning capability of edge devices while preserving data privacy. In geographically dispersed FL systems, such as sensor networks in remote areas, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can flexibly establish high-quality communication links to support parameter exchange. However, device heterogeneity and the limited battery capacity of UAVs pose significant challenges. Specifically, data heterogeneity slows convergence, while scheduling all devices for global collaboration incurs exces
Emerging research is addressing fundamental challenges in deploying federated learning efficiently in real-world, resource-constrained environments like with UAVs.
This work explores critical solutions for robust, energy-efficient AI deployment in edge networks, which is essential for expanding AI's reach and utility beyond centralized systems.
The focus extends beyond pure algorithmic efficiency to practical considerations of communication and energy for distributed AI, enabling more adaptive and resilient systems.
