About FL-DLT3

Welcome to FL-DLT3, created for experimental research in an article published on IEEE Internet of Things Journal.

Here is a structure of FL-DLT3:

Illustration of the proposed FL-DLT3 framework, where a policy network, a policy target network, two critic networks, and two critic target networks are trained. Each of the networks consists of a feedforward branch and a recurrent branch. A training round of FL is performed by the selected IoT devices with the allocated transmit power.Then, the edge server gets the reward $R{\alpha}$ and the state update $S{\alpha^{'}}^o$ of the IoT devices. The transition {($A{\alpha^{-}}$, $S{\alpha}^o$, $A{\alpha}$, $R{\alpha}$, $S_{\alpha^{'}}^o$)} is stored into the replay buffer $\mathcal{B}$, and a mini-batch of transitions is randomly sampled from B to train the policy and critic networks on the edge server.
