Age of Information (AoI) has emerged as a key metric for assessing data freshness in IoT applications, where a large number of devices report time-stamped updates to a monitor. Such systems often rely on random access protocols based on…
In status update systems, multiple features carried by the status updating process require pursuit of objectives beyond timeliness measured by the age of information of updates. We consider such a problem where the transmitter sends status…

A key metric to express the timeliness of status updates in latency-sensitive networked systems is the age of information (AoI), i.e., the time elapsed since the generation of the last received informative status message. This metric allows…
We consider a real-time monitoring system where a source node (with energy limitations) aims to keep the information status at a destination node as fresh as possible by scheduling status update transmissions over a set of channels. The…

We consider an information update system on a gossip network, where a source node encodes information into $n$ total keys such that any subset of at least $k+1$ keys can fully reconstruct the original information. This encoding process…

Scheduling the transmission of time-sensitive information from a source node to multiple users over error-prone communication channels is studied with the goal of minimizing the long-term average age of information (AoI) at the users. 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…
The age of Information (AoI) has been introduced to capture the notion of freshness in real-time monitoring applications. However, this metric falls short in many scenarios, especially when quantifying the mismatch between the current and…
Freshness of data is an important performance metric for real-time applications, which can be measured by age-of-information. For computation-intensive messages, the embedded information is not available until being computed. In this paper,…

We consider a wireless communication network with an adaptive scheme to select the number of packets to be admitted and encoded for each transmission, and characterize the information timeliness. For a network of erasure channels and…
