Inference Over Wireless IoT Links With Importance-Filtered Updates

We consider a communication cell comprised of Internet-of-Things (IoT) nodes transmitting to a common Access Point (AP). The nodes in the cell are assumed to generate data samples periodically, which are to be transmitted to the AP. The AP hosts a machine learning model, such as a neural network, which is trained on the received data samples to make accurate inferences. We address the following tr...
