US Patent Issued to QUALCOMM on Sept. 16 for "Gradient dataset aware configuration for over-the-air (OTA) model aggregation in federated learning" (Chinese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,418,808, issued on Sept. 16, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Gradient dataset aware configuration for over-the-air (OTA) model aggregation in federated learning" was invented by Qiaoyu Li (Beijing), Hao Xu (Beijing) and Liangming Wu (Beijing).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method performed by a user equipment (UE) generates local gradients for a federated learning task. The method calculates a gradient Sum-Power level based on the local gradients. The method receives a mapping between gradient Sum-Power levels and scaling factors for channel inversion coefficients to process a data block into an unencoded uplink signal. The...
