This paper investigates the main advantages of using Federated Learning (FL) for sharing experiences between intelligent devices in the environment of 5th generation mobile communication networks. This approach makes it possible to build effective machine learning algorithms using confidential data, the loss of which may be undesirable or even dangerous for users. Therefore, for the tasks where the confidentiality of the data is required for processing and analysis, we suggest using Federated Learning (FL) approaches. In this case, all users' personal information will be processed locally on their devices. FL ensures the security of confidential data for subscribers, allows mobile network operators to reduce the amount of redundant information in the radio channel, and also allows optimizing the functioning of the mobile network. The paper presents a three-level model of integration of Federated Learning into the mobile network and describes the main features of this approach, as well as experimental studies that demonstrate the results of the proposed approach.
