contents Leveraging pinching antennas in wireless network enabled federated learning (FL) can effectively mitigate the common "straggler" issue in FL by dynamically establishing strong line-of-sight (LoS) links on demand. This letter proposes a hybrid conventional and pinching antenna network (HCPAN) to significantly improve communication efficiency in the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enabled FL system. Within this framework, a fuzzy logic-based client classification scheme is first proposed to effectively balance clients' data contributions and communication conditions. Given this classification, we formulate a total time minimization problem to jointly optimize pinching antenna placement and resource allocation. Due to the complexity of variable coupling and non-convexity, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithm is developed to effectively address this problem. Simulation results validate the superiority of the proposed scheme in enhancing FL performance via the optimized deployment of pinching antenna.
