The paper explores the challenges of federated learning in Aerial and Space Networks (ASNs) by investigating the impact of heterogeneity on class imbalance. It highlights the unique constraints of ASNs-based FL, such as battery life limitations, which exacerbate class imbalance issues. The study reveals that existing algorithms struggle to address high levels of heterogeneity in ASNs-based FL, emphasizing the need for more effective solutions.

Federated learning is a way for machines like drones and satellites to learn together without sharing their data. This helps keep their data private while still getting better at tasks like recognizing pictures or understanding speech. The problem is that these machines have different kinds of data, which makes it hard for them to work together. In this paper, researchers looked at how this difference affects the learning process and found that it’s even harder than they thought. They also discovered that existing solutions don’t do well when faced with a lot of differences in the data.
