receiving, from a server, a reference signal for channel state information (CSI);
obtaining the CSI based on the reference signal;
obtaining a second flatten vector having gradient values in which signs are aligned, by repeating gradient values included in a first flatten vector and applying clipping and bias values; and
transmitting the second flatten vector together with the CSI to the server in the form of AirComp.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bias value is determined by the number of terminals participating in federated learning and statistical characteristics of the gradients of the first flatten vector.
