Robust Federated Learning for Wireless Networks: A Demonstration with Channel Estimation
This work addresses security concerns in federated learning for wireless networks, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing FL frameworks.
The paper tackles security vulnerabilities in federated learning for wireless channel estimation by analyzing attacks and proposing solutions, validated through simulation.
Federated learning (FL) offers a privacy-preserving collaborative approach for training models in wireless networks, with channel estimation emerging as a promising application. Despite extensive studies on FL-empowered channel estimation, the security concerns associated with FL require meticulous attention. In a scenario where small base stations (SBSs) serve as local models trained on cached data, and a macro base station (MBS) functions as the global model setting, an attacker can exploit the vulnerability of FL, launching attacks with various adversarial attacks or deployment tactics. In this paper, we analyze such vulnerabilities, corresponding solutions were brought forth, and validated through simulation.
