Federated Learning over Human-Body Communication for On-Body Edge Intelligence: A Survey, Taxonomy, and BODYFED-HBC Scheduling Vignette

ArXi:2605.24062v1 Announce Type: cross Human-body communication (HBC) is a promising physical substrate for wearable body-area networks because it can localize communication around the body and reduce the burden of conventional radio links. Federated learning (FL) is a promising learning substrate because it can reduce raw-data centralization for physiological and behavioral sensing. Yet these two literatures remain weakly connected: FL for wearables usually abstracts the communication layer, whereas HBC research usually abstracts learning and model-update traffic.
