FedOrbit enhances federated learning for LEO satellite constellations

Researchers have developed FedOrbit, a novel adaptive personalized federated learning approach designed for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations. This system addresses challenges posed by non-IID data and irregular ground-station visibility, which are common in such environments due to orbital geometry. FedOrbit integrates continuous inter-satellite training, class-aware hierarchical aggregation, and adaptive feature decomposition to improve accuracy across various remote-sensing benchmarks, outperforming existing baselines significantly under different non-IID partitioning schemes.

    FedOrbit: Adaptive Personalized Federated Learning for Non-IID LEO Satellite Constellations

    arXiv:2608.09687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations is affected by non-IID data and irregular ground-station visibility, both driven by orbital geometry. Global aggregation performs poorly when orbit-level clas…
