QuantFL: Pre-Training-Aware Update Quantisation for Communication-Efficient Federated Learning in the 6G IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum
Future 6G IoT-edge-cloud systems will rely on distributed intelligence, where edge devices adapt shared models using local private data. Federated learning (FL) supports this setting, but repeated transmission of full-precision model updates remains expensive over bandwidth-limited and energy-constrained wireless links...
