MPE HANDLING IN OVER-THE-AIR GRADIENT VECTOR AGGREGATION FOR FEDERATED LEARNING

Abstract:

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for managing MPE conditions in over-the-air gradient vector aggregation for federated learning. A UE may receive a federated learning model from a base station for participating in a federated learning procedure with the base station. The UE may update the federated learning model for an iteration of the federated learning procedure based on whether an uplink transmission would cause an MPE threshold to be exceeded. The uplink transmission may have a Tx power level that corresponds to a configured Rx power level at the base station. The UE may drop the uplink transmission if the uplink transmission would cause the MPE threshold to be exceeded.
