| contents | Communication overhead in federated learning (FL) poses a significant challenge for network anomaly detection systems, where diverse client configurations and network conditions impact efficiency and detection accuracy. Existing approaches attempt optimization individually but struggle to balance reduced overhead with performance. This paper presents an adaptive FL framework combining batch size optimization, client selection, and asynchronous updates for efficient anomaly detection. Using UNSW-NB15 for general network traffic and ROAD for automotive networks, our framework reduces communication overhead by 97.6% (700.0s to 16.8s) while maintaining comparable accuracy (95.10% vs. 95.12%). The Mann-Whitney U test confirms significant improvements (p < 0.05). Profiling analysis reveals efficiency gains via reduced GPU operations and memory transfers, ensuring robust detection across varying client conditions. |
