IOTA is at the forefront of the 6G revolution, leading the way in shaping the future of wireless communications technology. With the recent patent CN117176593A, the network offers an intelligent architecture design that addresses the challenges of implementing federated learning in 6G networks.
The era of 6G is upon us, and IOTA is playing a vital role in revolutionizing this technology. Through its cutting-edge contributions, IOTA enables large-scale federated learning, enhances network efficiency, and ensures utmost security.
6G is a revolutionary cellular network that utilizes cognitive technologies, including AI, to provide low-latency and high-speed communications surpassing the capabilities of 5G. It is estimated that 6G will be deployed in a few years and will replace 5G as the global communication standard by the end of the decade.
IOTA, always at the forefront of technological advancements, is positioning itself as the foundational network for 6G.
How IOTA Shapes 6G
A key aspect of 6G is the shift from centralized control to distributed channels, which necessitates the use of federated learning. This technique allows participants to build a standard machine model without sharing their data.
However, federated learning faces the challenge of trust due to the lack of data sharing. To address this, DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) comes into play.
As described in patent CN117176593A, DLT establishes collaborative trust between network entities, facilitates efficient resource sharing, trusted data interaction, and secure access control in wireless networks. It introduces new dimensions to the security system of 6G networks, such as privacy protection, data tracking, identity authentication, and information supervision.
However, traditional blockchain solutions lack two critical components – off-chain settlement mode and multi-chain sharding.
To overcome this, patent CN117176593A proposes a method that utilizes a main chain and shard chains to construct a hierarchical federated learning network architecture. This method incorporates an improved IOTA consensus algorithm and makes necessary improvements to the Proof-of-Work (PoW) process during data upload to the model propagation process.
According to the patent filing, when a node receives a new model for upload, it evaluates the model, discards models that do not meet the preset requirements, and stores the required model in the local IOTA database. The model is then transmitted to adjacent nodes.
This approach prevents spam on the IOTA network, enhances the model’s reliability, and strengthens its security.
In conclusion, IOTA’s patent CN117176593A provides an intelligent architecture design and optimization method that addresses the challenges of implementing federated learning in 6G networks. By leveraging DLT and an improved IOTA consensus algorithm, IOTA is shaping the future of 6G technology.
