E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Federated learning in vehicular networks can be optimized by selecting vehicles based on their importance and resource usage. Multi-user MIMO enhances model convergence and faster accuracy in traffic sign classification.
Area of Science:
- Vehicular networks
- Machine learning
- Wireless communication
Background:
- Federated learning (FL) offers improved accuracy for vehicular applications by leveraging data from multiple vehicles.
- Challenges in vehicular FL include limited bandwidth, variable channel quality, and latency, impacting vehicle selection and resource allocation.
- Optimizing FL requires characterizing vehicles by learning importance and wireless resource utilization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the joint vehicle selection and resource allocation problem in multi-cell vehicular networks.
- To develop an efficient algorithm for optimizing federated learning in vehicular environments.
- To evaluate the impact of multi-user MIMO on FL performance for traffic sign classification.
Main Methods:
- Characterized participating vehicles based on learning importance and wireless resource usage.
- Formulated a joint vehicle selection and resource allocation optimization problem for multi-cell MU-MIMO networks.
- Proposed a "vehicle-beam-iterative" algorithm to approximate the optimization solution.
- Conducted extensive simulations using realistic road and mobility models for traffic sign object classification.
Main Results:
- Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) was shown to significantly improve the convergence time of the global federated learning model.
- Application-specific accuracy targets were achieved faster in scenarios with uniform training data set sizes across vehicles compared to varied sizes.
- The proposed "vehicle-beam-iterative" algorithm effectively approximated the solution to the complex optimization problem.
Conclusions:
- The study demonstrates the effectiveness of joint vehicle selection and resource allocation in enhancing federated learning for vehicular applications.
- MU-MIMO technology is crucial for improving the efficiency and performance of federated learning in vehicular networks.
- Future research can explore adaptive strategies for varying data set sizes to further optimize federated learning performance in dynamic vehicular environments.
