Abstract

—In the rapidly evolving landscape of federated learning (FL), hierarchical architectures are pivotal for improving computational efficiency and safeguarding data privacy. A key challenge in this research area is the optimal selection of edge servers, crucial for executing distributed learning tasks across multiple clients and servers efficiently. Traditional selection methods falter due to their inability to dynamically handle the uncertainties in network conditions and server capabilities. To addressing this weakness, we propose a fuzzy logic based approach that optimizes edge server selection in a novel smart way, thus enhancing resource allocation by efficiently handling the unpredictable nature of network environments and servers performance. This method is integrated with a previously developed scheme for selecting an optimal subset of clients,thereby establishing a comprehensive framework that significantly boosts the performance and reliability of FL networks.The performance of our approach is validated through real world experiments and the results demonstrate its superiority over existing methods in terms of accuracy and processing time
