We study a status update system with a source, a sampler, a transmitter, and a monitor. The source governs a stochastic process that the monitor wants to observe in a timely manner. To achieve this, the sampler samples fresh update packets…
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,…
A status updating system is considered in which multiple processes are sampled and transmitted through a shared channel. Each process has its dedicated server that processes its samples before time stamping them for transmission. Time…
In advanced jamming, the adversary intentionally concentrates the available energy budget on specific critical components (e.g., pilot symbols, acknowledgement packets, etc.) to (i) increase the jamming effectiveness, as more targets can be…
Can an intelligent jammer learn and adapt to unknown environments in an electronic warfare-type scenario? In this paper, we answer this question in the positive, by developing a cognitive jammer that adaptively and optimally disrupts the…
A sensor observes a random phenomenon and transmits updates about the observed phenomenon to a remote monitor. The sensor may experience intermittent failures in which case the monitor will not receive any updates until the sensor has…
