Scheduling for Ground-Assisted Federated Learning in LEO Satellite Constellations

Distributed training of machine learning models directly on satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) is considered. Based on a federated learning (FL) algorithm specifically targeted at the unique challenges of the satellite scenario, we design a scheduler that exploits the predictability of visiting times between ground stations (GS) and satellites to reduce model staleness. Numerical experiments show that this can improve the convergence speed by a factor three.
