Abstract

Delay Tolerant Networks are used in Wireless Sensor Networks based IoT Platforms. Though we adopt federated learning scenario for ensuring security, we can think of adding additional layer of security in which oblique platforms are considered. Byzantine-Resilient aggregation ensures that a few malicious client nodes cannot corrupt the global learning process

Keywords

Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), Federative Learning (FL), Oblique Federative Learning (OFL), Edge Computing, Data Aggregation, Mean Square Error(MSE), Store-and-Forward, Krum aggregation, Multi-Krum Aggregation, Byzantine client

Conclusion

In edge computing scenarios with IoT devices, DTN can ensure that model updates are eventually delivered even if devices temporarily lose connectivity. In remote or rural areas with sporadic internet access, DTN can help OFL by ensuring data and model updates are stored and forwarded when possible, maintaining the integrity and progress of the learning process. Integration Of DTN and OFL for better performance can be done by incorporating Mult- Krum algorithm and thereby the chances of loosing useful information from other honest clients are ruled out.
