Modern sensing and monitoring applications typically consist of sources transmitting updates of different sizes, ranging from a few bytes (position, temperature, etc.) to multiple megabytes (images, video frames, LIDAR point scans, etc.).…

We consider an energy harvesting two-hop network where a source is communicating to a destination through a relay. During a given communication session time, the source collects measurement updates from a physical phenomenon and sends them…

We consider a G/G/1 queueing system with a single server, where updates arrive from different sources stochastically with possibly different update inter-generation time distributions. The server can transmit/serve at most one update at any…

When designing a message transmission system, from the point of view of making sure that the information transmitted is as fresh as possible, two rules of thumb seem reasonable: use small buffers and adopt a last-in-first-out policy. In…

In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source continuously monitors an object and sends time-stamped status updates to a destination through a rate-limited link. We assume updates arrive randomly at the source according to a…

In this paper, we consider a status update system, in which update packets are sent to the destination via a wireless medium that allows for multiple rates, where a higher rate also naturally corresponds to a higher error probability. The…

We consider the problem of minimizing the age of information when a source can transmit status updates over two heterogeneous channels. Our work is motivated by recent developments in 5G mmWave technology, where transmissions may occur over…

We consider unreliable multi-hop networks serving multiple flows in which packets not delivered to their destination nodes by their deadlines are dropped. We address the design of policies for routing and scheduling packets that optimize…

We consider a multi-source status update system, where each source generates status update packets according to a Poisson process which are then served according to a generally distributed service time. For this multi-source M/G/1/1…

Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: high priority or ordinary (low priority). These updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. However, the transmission…

We investigate the age-of-information (AoI) in the context of random access networks, in which transmitters need to send a sequence of information packets to the intended receivers over a shared spectrum. Due to interference, the dynamics…

The idea behind the recently introduced "age of information" performance measure of a networked message processing system is that it indicates our knowledge regarding the "freshness" of the most recent piece of information that can be used…

Age of information is a new network performance metric that captures the freshness of information at end-users. This paper studies the age of information from a scheduling perspective. To that end, we consider a wireless broadcast network…
