FedQoS: Federated QoS-Risk Learning for Heterogeneous Indoor-Outdoor Access Selection

Reliable access selection in dynamic and heterogeneous indoor-outdoor environments is challenging because instantaneous radio measurements alone cannot capture future QoS degradation caused by mobility, blockage, traffic load, and resource competition. This paper proposes FedQoS, a federated QoS-risk learning framework for predicting the future reliability of candidate access links and supporting access-node selection without centralizing user-level network data. In FedQoS, each access node locally learns from its observed network logs, including radio, traffic, load, and service-context features, while a global QoS-risk predictor is trained through federated aggregation. The learned model estimates the probability of QoS failure for each candidate link, and the controller uses these risk scores to select reliable access nodes under dynamic network conditions. To evaluate the framework, we construct physics-based synthetic indoor-outdoor wireless datasets using the Sionna framework, covering normal traffic, mobility, event-driven congestion, and non-IID client observations. Simulation results show that learning-based access selection substantially reduces the QoS-failure rate compared with signal-based and historical-QoS heuristic methods. FedQoS achieves near-centralized predictive performance and provides clear reliability gains under mild non-IID data while remaining competitive under the more challenging severe non-IID condition. These results demonstrate the potential of federated QoS-risk learning for reliable, data-local access selection in dynamic wireless environments.

Resilient Decentralized Wireless Federated Learning via Gradient Tracking with AdamW

Wireless Internet-of-Things (IoT) edge networks require decentralized learning (DecL) methods that can operate reliably under both heterogeneous local data and communication-constrained wireless links. However, existing decentralized optimization schemes often incur substantial communication overhead and degraded performance when transmissions are constrained by strict airtime budgets, fading channels, and packet losses. This paper proposes QEF-GT-AdamW, a communication-efficient and outage-resilient algorithm for DecL over wireless communication (WCom) networks. The proposed method combines gradient tracking to mitigate the effect of non-IID data, AdamW-based adaptive optimization to improve training stability, and dual-stream biased quantization with error feedback to reduce communication payloads for both model and tracking exchanges. To address unreliable broadcast communication, the proposed framework further employs a local fallback strategy when scheduled packets are not successfully received. We explicitly model the effect of bandwidth, transmit power, airtime constraints, and fading channels on DecL performance, and establish convergence guarantees for the proposed algorithm under compressed and unreliable wireless communication. Experimental results on heterogeneous MNIST and CIFAR-10 settings show that QEF-GT-AdamW consistently improves robustness and convergence performance over representative DecL baselines while achieving favorable accuracy-communication trade-offs under limited wireless resources.

Oranits: Mission Assignment and Task Offloading in Open RAN-based ITS using Metaheuristic and Deep Reinforcement Learning

In this paper, we explore mission assignment and task offloading in an Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN)-based intelligent transportation system (ITS), where autonomous vehicles leverage mobile edge computing for efficient processing. Existing studies often overlook the intricate interdependencies between missions and the costs associated with offloading tasks to edge servers, leading to suboptimal decision-making. To bridge this gap, we introduce Oranits, a novel system model that explicitly accounts for mission dependencies and offloading costs while optimizing performance through vehicle cooperation. To achieve this, we propose a twofold optimization approach. First, we develop a metaheuristic-based evolutionary computing algorithm, namely the Chaotic Gaussian-based Global ARO (CGG-ARO), serving as a baseline for one-slot optimization. Second, we design an enhanced reward-based deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework, referred to as the Multi-agent Double Deep Q-Network (MA-DDQN), that integrates both multi-agent coordination and multi-action selection mechanisms, significantly reducing mission assignment time and improving adaptability over baseline methods. Extensive simulations reveal that CGG-ARO improves the number of completed missions and overall benefit by approximately 7.1% and 7.7%, respectively. Meanwhile, MA-DDQN achieves even greater improvements of 11.0% in terms of mission completions and 12.5% in terms of the overall benefit. These results highlight the effectiveness of Oranits in enabling faster, more adaptive, and more efficient task processing in dynamic ITS environments.

Deadline-Aware Joint Task Scheduling and Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing Systems

The demand for stringent interactive quality-of-service has intensified in both mobile edge computing (MEC) and cloud systems, driven by the imperative to improve user experiences. As a result, the processing of computation-intensive tasks in these systems necessitates adherence to specific deadlines or achieving extremely low latency. To optimize task scheduling performance, existing research has mainly focused on reducing the number of late jobs whose deadlines are not met. However, the primary challenge with these methods lies in the total search time and scheduling efficiency. In this paper, we present the optimal job scheduling algorithm designed to determine the optimal task order for a given set of tasks. In addition, users are enabled to make informed decisions for offloading tasks based on the information provided by servers. The details of performance analysis are provided to show its optimality and low complexity with the linearithmic time O(nlogn), where $n$ is the number of tasks. To tackle the uncertainty of the randomly arriving tasks, we further develop an online approach with fast outage detection that achieves rapid acceptance times with time complexity of O(n). Extensive numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of the service ratio and scheduling cost.
