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 investigates how federated learning (FL) updates in vehicular edge networks can reveal client identities through gradient-based attacks on inertial sensor data, using the UCI Human Activity Recognition benchmark as a proxy. Experiments show that an honest-but-curious server can identify clients with near-perfect accuracy from unprotected updates. The authors evaluate lightweight defenses—clipping followed by Gaussian noise and ensemble FL—to mitigate this privacy risk while preserving model utility, reporting differential‑privacy budgets and empirical results across multiple attack classifiers and data partitions.
