The sixth-generation network (6G) is expected to achieve a fully connected world, which makes full use of a large amount of sensitive data. Federated Learning (FL) is an emerging distributed computing paradigm. In Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC), FL is used to protect consumer data privacy. However, using FL in VEC will lead to expensive communication overheads, thereby occupying regular communication resources. In the traditional FL, the massive communication rounds before convergence lead to enormous communication costs. Furthermore, in each communication round, many clients upload large quantity model parameters to the parameter server in the uplink communication phase, which increases communication overheads. Moreover, a few straggler links and clients may prolong training time in each round, which will decrease the efficiency of FL and potentially increase the communication costs. In …
