• Abstract: Over-the-Air Computation is a beyond-5G communication strategy that has recently been shown to be useful for the decentralized training of machine learning models due to its efficiency. In this paper, we propose an Over-the-Air federated learning algorithm that aims to provide fairness and robustness through minmax optimization. By using the epigraph form of the problem at hand, we show that the proposed algorithm converges to the optimal solution of the minmax problem. Moreover, the proposed approach does not require reconstructing channel coefficients by complex encoding-decoding schemes as opposed to state-of-the-art approaches. This improves both efficiency and privacy.
