Spectrum Occupancy Detection Supported by Federated Learning (2403.03617v1)

Abstract: Dynamic spectrum access is essential for radiocommunication and its limited spectrum resources. The key element of dynamic spectrum access systems is effective spectrum occupancy detection. In many cases, machine learning algorithms improve detection effectiveness. Because of the recent trend of using federated learning, a federated learning algorithm is presented in the context of distributed spectrum occupancy detection. The results of the work presented in the paper are based on actual signal samples collected in the laboratory. The proposed algorithm is effective, especially in the context of a set of sensors with faulty sensors.
