Status update systems consist of sensors that take measurements of a physical parameter and transmit them to a remote receiver. Age of Information (AoI) has been studied extensively as a metric for the freshness of information in such…
We consider an energy harvesting transmitter sending status updates to a receiver over an erasure channel, where each status update is of length $k$ symbols. The energy arrivals and the channel erasures are independent and identically…
Age of Information is a measure of the freshness of status updates in monitoring applications and update-based systems. We study a real-time remote sensing scenario with a sensor which is restricted by time-varying energy constraints and…

We examine lossless data compression from an average delay perspective. An encoder receives input symbols one per unit time from an i.i.d. source and submits binary codewords to a FIFO buffer that transmits bits at a fixed rate to a…
An energy harvesting sensor that is sending status updates to a destination through an erasure channel is considered, in which transmissions are prone to being erased with some probability $q$, independently from other transmissions. The…
This paper considers an uplink Internet of Things system with synchronous periodic traffic, where multiple devices generate their status updates at the beginning of each global frame and attempt to send them to a common access point. To…
We consider a real-time status update system consisting of a source-destination network. A stochastic process is observed at the source, and samples, so called status updates, are extracted at random time instances, and delivered to the…
We consider a slotted-time system with a transmitter-receiver pair. In the system, a transmitter observes a dynamic source and sends updates to a remote receiver through a communication channel. We assume that the channel is error-free but…
Consider a scenario where a source continuously monitors an object and sends time-stamped status updates to a destination through a rate-limited link. In order to measure the "freshness" of the status information available at the…
A status updating system is considered in which a variable length code is used to transmit messages to a receiver over a noisy channel. The goal is to optimize the codewords lengths such that successfully-decoded messages are timely. That…
The Age of Information (AoI) is a performance metric that quantifies the freshness of data in systems where timely updates are critical. Most state-of-the-art methods typically assume that packets enter the monitored system with zero age,…
We consider a communication system in which status updates arrive at a source node, and should be transmitted through a network to the intended destination node. The status updates are samples of a random process under observation,…
Age-of-information (AoI) is a novel metric that measures the freshness of information in status update scenarios. It is essential for real-time applications to transmit status update packets to the destination node as timely as possible.…
Timely sampling and fresh information delivery are important in 6G communications. This is achieved by encoding samples into short packets/codewords for transmission, with potential decoding errors. We consider a broadcasting base station…

We apply a fluid-reservoir model to study the Age-of-Information (AoI) of update packets through energy-harvesting transmitters. The model is closer to how energy is stored and depleted in reality, and can reveal the system behavior for…
Delivering timely status updates in a timeliness-critical communication system is of paramount importance to assist accurate and efficient decision making. Therefore, the topic of analyzing Age of Information has aroused new research…
