Age of Information (AoI), which measures the time elapsed since the generation of the last received packet at the destination, is a new metric for real-time status update tracking applications. In this paper, we consider a status-update…
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…
