A New Interference-Alignment Scheme for Wireless MapReduce

We consider a full-duplex wireless Distributed Computing (DC) system under the MapReduce framework. New upper and lower bounds on the optimal tradeoff between Normalized Delivery Time (NDT) and computation load are presented. The upper bound strictly improves over the previous reported upper bounds and is based on a novel interference alignment (IA) scheme tailored to the interference cancellation capabilities of MapReduce nodes. The lower bound is proved through information-theoretic converse arguments.
