Federated learning (FL), with the growing IoT and edge computing, is seen as a promising solution for applications that are latency- and privacy-aware. However, due to the widespread dispersion of data across many clients, it is challenging to monitor client anomalies caused by malfunctioning devices or unexpected events. The majority of FL solutions now in use concentrate on the classification problem, ignoring situations in which anomaly detection may also necessitate privacy preservation and effectiveness. The system in federated learning is unable to manage the potentially flawed behavior of its clients completely. These behaviors include sharing arbitrary parameter values and causing a delay in convergence since clients are chosen at random without knowing the malfunctioning behavior of the client. Client selection is crucial in terms of the efficiency of the federated learning framework. The challenges such as client drift and handling slow clients with low computational capability are well-studied in FL. However, the detection of anomalous clients either for security or for overall performance in the FL frameworks is hardly studied in the literature. In this paper, we propose an anomaly client detection algorithm to overcome malicious client attacks and client drift in FL frameworks. Instead of random client selection, our proposed method utilizes anomaly client detection to remove clients from the FL framework, thereby enhancing the security and efficiency of the overall system. This proposed method improves the global model convergence in almost 50\% fewer communication rounds compared with widely used random client selection using the MNIST dataset.
