However, conventional fault diagnostic methods often rely on centralized data processing, which raises significant concerns about data privacy threats, latency, and inefficiencies in real-time problem identification. We provide a Big Data-Driven Predictive Analytics with Federated Learning (BD-PA-FL) platform to address these issues. Without sending sensitive raw data, this novel method enables decentralized, privacy-preserving model training across numerous edge devices. By utilizing distributed big data and safeguarding data privacy, BD-PA-FL enables decentralized predictive analytics through FL. It avoids centralized data pooling, which lowers latency and improves real-time, privacy-aware fault detection in contrast to traditional fault diagnosis. To enable effective and intelligent fault prediction at the network edge, the proposed framework incorporates several essential elements. First, vital operating metrics from power equipment are captured by real-time sensor data collection. After that, insightful feature extraction methods are employed to identify significant patterns in the unprocessed data, enabling the detection of anomalies at an early stage. FL algorithms allow the system to collaboratively train predictive models across distributed nodes without sharing sensitive data, preserving privacy. By leveraging a cloud-edge AI architecture, the system ensures scalability, low latency, and effective resource utilization for predictive maintenance.

The network architecture enhances small object detection by incorporating large-scale feature layers into the pyramid structure of the neck and applying lightweight architectural optimization to the neck module.

So, the integration of the BD and AI in the 6G structures are suggested in this study. Then, the conventional centralized security systems are ineffective in the rapid digitalization of financial transactions. Because these conventional systems are susceptible to single points of failure (SPF), delayed threat detection, and data privacy breaches. In the real-time (RT) financial backgrounds, these conventional systems face difficulties in protecting the network against advanced cyber threats. These situations will call for a decentralized, adaptive, and privacy-preserving (PP) security framework in the rapidly evolving 6G structures. This demanded framework may help in anomaly detection (AD) in financial transactions without affecting vital data. Thus, a novel federated learning (FL)-based AD in financial security (FL-AD-FS) framework is suggested in this study. To train the AI models collaboratively over several edge devices, this suggested model utilizes FL. This application will also ensure the privacy of the data. Then, in financial operations, the RT AD and threat mitigation was facilitated by the system, as it integrates with 6G-enabled (EC) edge computing. The simulations were conducted; from the outcomes, it is clear that the suggested FL-AD-FS model executes better by reducing false positive rates (FPRs), increasing detection (ACC) accuracy, and minimizing latency.
