Federated Learning over Human-Body Communication for On-Body Edge Intelligence: A Survey, Taxonomy, and BODYFED-HBC Scheduling Vignette
Researchers have published a survey detailing the integration of federated learning (FL) with human-body communication (HBC) for on-body edge intelligence. The paper highlights the weak connection between these two fields and proposes a taxonomy for different FL deployments in wearable networks. It introduces a reference architecture called BODYFED-HBC and an optimization formulation for body-channel-aware FL, aiming to make learning protocols responsive to HBC link conditions and other wearable constraints.
