The paper investigates federated learning over multiple‑access fading channels with a multi‑antenna base station, focusing on user‑level differential privacy (DP). It shows that DP can be achieved as a natural benefit of channel noise without adding artificial noise, deriving new DP and convergence bounds for general bounded‑domain models and non‑convex loss functions. The authors further optimize beamforming and power allocation to characterize the trade‑off between privacy and convergence, providing theoretical insights and numerical validation.

The paper proposes an XL‑MIMO system with stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM) that functions as a two‑layer neural network operating entirely over the air. The first layer is the uncontrollable wireless fading, while the second controllable layer is implemented via SIM operations, requiring only the front‑end metasurface to provide a nonlinear activation. Using the Extreme Learning Machine framework, the authors derive a closed‑form optimal linear SIM combining, enabling fast training and demonstrating classification accuracy comparable to digital models across various datasets.

The paper introduces Tri-PNet, a deep learning framework that jointly designs electromagnetic (EM), analog, and digital precoding for tri-hybrid multi-user MIMO OFDM systems. By leveraging Conformer architecture, Tri-PNet learns to select radiation patterns and perform hybrid precoding, achieving higher spectral efficiency than random EM precoding and conventional hybrid MIMO while maintaining low online complexity. The study evaluates two radiation-pattern modes—non-regular and 3GPP TR 38.901—showing robust performance even with imperfect channel state information.

The paper evaluates eight existing pilot‑aided channel estimators for 5G‑NR and LTE across various 3GPP channel models and numerologies, showing that no single estimator dominates under all conditions. It introduces a condition‑adaptive multi‑agent orchestrator that selects the best estimator per operating scenario, achieving performance within 1.07 dB of an oracle and improving NMSE by up to 3.6 dB at high SNR. The orchestrator runs agents in parallel, yielding near‑single‑estimator latency while scaling wall‑clock time roughly inversely with the number of workers.

FedQoS is a federated learning framework that predicts future QoS failure probabilities for candidate access links in dynamic indoor‑outdoor environments, enabling reliable access‑node selection without centralizing user data. Each access node trains locally on its network logs, while a global QoS‑risk predictor is built through federated aggregation. Simulations using physics‑based synthetic datasets show that FedQoS reduces QoS‑failure rates compared to signal‑based and historical‑QoS heuristics, achieving near‑centralized performance even under non‑IID data conditions.

The paper introduces a JEPA-inspired latent field prediction model for reconstructing MIMO‑OFDM channels from sparse pilots. It maps observed CSI into latent time‑frequency tokens, predicts masked or future latent states using historical multi‑band context, and fuses these predictions with current noisy pilots to recover the full channel. Ray‑tracing experiments demonstrate that this approach reduces normalized mean square error compared to pilot‑only and direct reconstruction baselines.
