| Abstract: | Edge IoT devices are increasingly targeted for on- device intelligence using federated learning (FL). However, conventional FL imposes heavy communication and energy costs that make it impractical for battery-constrained, bandwidth-limited deployments with heterogeneous (non- IID) data. In this paper we present a practical, communication-efficient FL framework that combines update quantization with top-k sparsification and evaluates its performance under realistic edge conditions. We implement the framework in MATLAB and conduct an extensive empirical study on EMNIST and a synthetic IoT sensor dataset across varied Dirichlet non-IID severities, client dropout rates, and multiple random seeds. Our experiments show that combining low-bit quantization (4 bits) with sparsification (top 2–5%) yields orders-of- magnitude reductions in transmitted bytes and energy while maintaining high model fidelity: e.g., compared to uncompressed FedAvg (baseline accuracy 84.90%) a 4-bit + sparsity configuration reduces communication by up to ~97.7% and energy consumption by a similar factor, while achieving ≈79.1% accuracy. We provide detailed convergence analysis, statistical confidence intervals across seeds, and an energy model translating bytes → Joules to quantify device-level savings. Finally, we analyze failure modes and robustness under extreme heterogeneity and client dropout, and provide reproducible MATLAB code and result artifacts. Our findings show that careful joint compression enables practical FL deployments on edge IoT devices without sacrificing scientifically meaningful accuracy. |
