This scheme adopts the advantages of both LoRa protocols and multi-hop technology that make the data quickly spread to all devices from the center of an area.This scheme optimizes transmission energy consumption by selecting proper relays to alleviate the problem of power shortage in LoRa devices. In this paper, we design an algorithm based on machine learning and reinforcement learning to reduce transmission costs for LoRa devices. The superiority of the proposed scheme in saving communication resources has been demonstrated compared to traditional methods.

These solutions often lead to high latency, increased operational costs, and limited scalability, making them unsuitable for real-time applications and resource-constrained environments. As a result, edge, and fog computing have emerged as viable alternatives, reducing latency and costs by processing data closer to its source. However, managing the flow of such vast and distributed data streams requires well-structured data pipelines to control the complete lifecycle—from data acquisition at the source to processing at the edge and fog layers, and finally storage and analytics in the cloud. To dynamically handle data analytics at varying distances from the source, often on heterogeneous hardware devices with collaborative learning techniques such as Federated Learning (FL). FL enables decentralized model training by leveraging the local data on Edge Devices (EDs), thereby preserving data privacy and reducing communication overhead with the cloud. However, FL faces critical challenges, including data heterogeneity, where the non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) nature of data degrades model performance, and resource limitations on EDs, which lead to inefficiencies in training and biases in the aggregated models.</div><div>To address these issues, we propose a novel FL solution, called Pop-Up Federated Learning (PopFL) in edge networks. This solution introduces hierarchical aggregation to reduce network congestion by distributing the aggregation tasks across multiple Fog Servers (FSs), rather than relying solely on centralized cloud aggregation. To further enhance participation and resource utilization at the edge, we incorporate the Stackelberg game model, which incentivizes EDs based on their contribution and resource availability. Additionally, PopFL employs a pop-up ad-hoc network for scalable and efficient communication between EDs and FSs, ensuring robust data transmission in dynamic network conditions. Extensive experiments conducted on three diverse datasets highlight the superior performance of PopFL compared to state-of-the-art FL techniques. The results show significant improvements in model accuracy, robustness, and fairness across various scenarios, effectively addressing the challenges of data heterogeneity and resource limitations. Through these innovations, PopFL paves the way for more reliable and efficient distributed learning systems, unlocking the full potential of FL in real-world applications where low latency and scalable solutions are critical.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55555,"journal":{"name":"Ad Hoc Networks","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 103728"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143137682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This oversight can lead to unreliable sensing abilities among recruited users, thereby affecting the system’s overall sensing quality. In this paper, we first analyze the intrinsic attributes of users and tasks and propose an aggregative indicator and user enhancement model for better assessment and description of user sensing abilities. To improve the system’s overall sensing quality, the task allocation problem is modeled as a multi-constraint single-objective optimization problem. To address this problem, a Simulated Annealing-based Random Selection Hyper-Heuristic Optimization Algorithm (SARSHHOA) has been developed. This algorithm begins by generating an initial allocation scheme using a greedy approach, then applies randomly selected search operators to various allocation schemes and utilizes simulated annealing to selectively accept solutions.

SSaaS was primarily motivated by the need for a low-cost, accurate, and reliable spectrum sensing service to support a plethora of heterogeneous wireless devices and applications. Under the SSaaS model, clients need to pay the service provider for the sensing service they receive. In this paper, we address the problem of allocating spectrum channels to links of a given communication session in a cognitive radio network (CRN) that utilizes SSaaS. The objective is to allocate channels such that the worst link availability among the session is maximized and the spectrum access cost is minimized.

Extensive experimentation was conducted to compare between these algorithms and identify the best ones to use.
