SplitMAC: Wireless Split Learning over Multiple Access Channels (2311.02405v2)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel split learning (SL) framework, referred to as SplitMAC, which reduces the latency of SL by leveraging simultaneous uplink transmission over multiple access channels. The key strategy is to divide devices into multiple groups and allow the devices within the same group to simultaneously transmit their smashed data and device-side models over the multiple access channels. The optimization problem of device grouping to minimize SL latency is formulated, and the benefit of device grouping in reducing the uplink latency of SL is theoretically derived. By examining a two-device grouping case, two asymptotically-optimal algorithms are devised for device grouping in low and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scenarios, respectively, while providing proofs of their optimality. By merging these algorithms, a near-optimal device grouping algorithm is proposed to cover a wide range of SNR. Our SL framework is also extended to consider practical fading channels and to support a general group size. Simulation results demonstrate that our SL framework with the proposed device grouping algorithm is superior to existing SL frameworks in reducing SL latency.
