Abstract: Recent studies have shown that system capacity is very important for cellular networks. In this paper, we consider maximizing the weighted sum-rate of the cellular network downlink and uplink, where each cell consists of a full-duplex (FD) base station (BS) and half-duplex (HD) users. federated learning (FL) can train models in the absence of centralized data, which can achieve privacy protection of user data. A low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite edge computing system (LSECS) can be formed by placing the mobile edge computing (MEC) servers on LEO satellites, which greatly increases the processing capacities of the satellites. Therefore, we consider a combination of FL and MEC and propose an FL-based computation offloading algorithm to maximize the weighted sum-rate while ensuring the security of user data. We consider solving the sub-channel assignment and power allocation problems using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms with excellent global search capabilities. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm achieves the maximum weighted sum-rate compared with the baseline algorithms and excellent convergence.
