With the booming development of Smart Healthcare Systems (SHSs), employing federated learning (FL) in SHS devices has become a research hotspot. FL, as a distributed learning framework, can train models without sharing the original data among users, and then protect the user privacy. Existing research has proposed many methods to improve the security and efficiency of FL, which may not fully consider the characteristics of SHSs.

The space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) represents a pivotal component within the realm of next-generation mobile communication technologies, owing to its established reliability and adaptable coverage capabilities. Central to the advancement of SAGIN is propagation channel research due to its critical role in aiding network system design and resource deployment. Nevertheless, real-world propagation channel research faces challenges in data collection, deployment, and testing.

With the development of underwater technology and the increasing demand for ocean development, more and more intelligent equipment is being applied to underwater scientific missions. Specifically, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) clusters are being used for their flexibility and the advantages of carrying communication and detection units, often performing underwater tasks in formation. In order to locate AUVs with high precision, we introduce an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) with global positioning system (GPS) and propose a USV-AUV network.

The development of automatic underwater vehicles (AUVs) has brought about unprecedented profits and opportunities. In order to discover the hidden valuable data detected by an AUV swarm, it is necessary to aggregate the data detected by AUV swarm to generate a powerful machine learning model. Traditional centralized machine learning generates a large number of data exchanges and faces problems of enormous training data, large-scale models, and communication.
