Energy-Efficient Hierarchical Federated Anomaly Detection for the Internet of Underwater Things via Selective Cooperative Aggregation
arXiv:2603.24648v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anomaly detection is a core service in the Internet of Underwater Things, yet training accurate distributed models underwater is difficult because acoustic links are low-bandwidth, energy-intensive, and often unable to support direct sensor-to-surface communication. Standard flat federated learning therefore faces two coupled limitations in underwater deployments: expensive long-range transmissions and reduced participation when only a subset of sensors can reach the gateway. This paper proposes an energy-efficient hierarchical federated learning framework for underwater […]
