Age of Information is an interesting metric that captures the freshness of information in the underlying applications. It is a combination of both packets inter-arrival time and packet transmission delay. In recent times, advanced real-time…
The problem of reducing the age-of-information has been extensively studied in the single-hop networks. In this paper, we minimize the age-of-information in general multihop networks. If the packet transmission times over the network links…

We focus on a system in which a set of two-state Markov sources report status update to a common receiver over a shared wireless channel. Inspired by practical IoT networks, we consider three variations of ALOHA as medium access protocol:…
