In this talk, we review recent work on edge computing and communications as a key enabler for future wireless networks. In particular, we present samples of our work on proactive caching, decentralized coded caching, cache-aided MIMO networks and federated learning over blockchain networks. In the first part of the talk, we shed light on a sample of our work on edge content caching. We present performance limits for decentralized coded caching in Fog Radio Access Networks with focus on the normalized delivery time (NDT) performance metric. Afterwards, we extend our discussion to cache-aided MIMO networks where we generalize prior studies to the case of arbitrary number of transmitters, receivers and antennas. We establish fundamental limits characterizing the relative contributions of the spatial multiplexing gain vs. the coded caching gain, with respect to reducing the delivery latency. In the second part of the talk, we shift our focus to edge intelligence, in particular, federated learning over blockchain networks. Motivated by the wide prevalence of decentralized data, we propose a novel federated learning framework with no parameter service, yet, relying on the distributed ledger security infrastructure of blockchains. This is achieved by employing “validators” who evaluate the quality of the “trainer” model updates through a validation dataset and byzantine fault tolerance. This work opens ample room for future research through revealing interesting insights and fundamental trade-offs.

[] The IEEE Colombian Conference on Communications and Computing (COLCOM), organized by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) aims at showing the progress and development of the academic, scientific and industrial usage of the different areas of telecommunications and computing. COLCOM is the most important conference held anually in Colombia, and attracts submissions and participants from the whole country and its neighbor countries. The conference covers the scope of all ComSoc Technical Committees and has a broad technical program that includes renowned keynote speakers and comprehensive tutorials presenting the state-of-the-art in communications. This year will mark the 19th edition of COLCOM, and the city of Bucaramanga has been chosen to host the conference.
