To facilitate fast data aggregation in Internet of Things, over-the-air computation (AirComp) is a communication-efficient enabler by virtue of its high spectrum efficiency and low transmission latency. However, traditional AirComp faces challenges such as signal misalignment, imperfect channel stat…
In this paper, we investigate the computation offloading problem in a distributed reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided cell-free network, where users offload computing-intensive tasks to their associated base stations with the aid of multiple RISs. To minimize the long-term energy consumpt…
To enhance the robustness and convergence of hierarchical federated learning (HFL) in wireless networks with imperfect channel state information (CSI), a quantized HFL (QHFL) framework is proposed. Considering the local training and communication latency, the outage probability of quantized gradient…
In this paper, we propose a new multi-functional reconfigurable intelligent surface (MF-RIS) architecture. Different from conventional RIS that only reflects signals, MF-RIS supports multiple functionalities on one surface, including reflection, transmission, amplification, and energy harvesting. As…
In this paper, we propose a semi-federated learning (SemiFL) framework that allows computing-limited clients to collaboratively train a shared model with resource-abundant clients. Specifically, by supporting the coexistence of model-updating and data-offloading, the SemiFL framework enables both ce…
