Age of information is a new concept that characterizes the freshness of information at end devices. This paper studies the age of information from a scheduling perspective. We consider a wireless broadcast network where a base-station…
The idea behind the recently introduced "age of information" performance measure of a networked message processing system is that it indicates our knowledge regarding the "freshness" of the most recent piece of information that can be used…
Status update systems require the timely collection of sensing information for which deploying multiple sensors/servers to obtain diversity gains is considered as a promising solution. In this work, we construct an absorbing Markov chain…
This paper focuses on optimizing the long-term average age of information (AoI) in device-to-device (D2D) networks through age-aware link scheduling. The problem is naturally formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP). However, finding…
An information source generates independent and identically distributed status update messages from an observed random phenomenon which takes $n$ distinct values based on a given pmf. These update packets are encoded at the transmitter node…
A large body of applications that involve monitoring, decision making, and forecasting require timely status updates for their efficient operation. Age of Information (AoI) is a newly proposed metric that effectively captures this…
A status updating system is considered in which multiple data sources generate packets to be delivered to a destination through a shared energy harvesting sensor. Only one source's data, when available, can be transmitted by the sensor at a…
Device-to-device (D2D) links scheduling for avoiding excessive interference is critical to the success of wireless D2D communications. Most of the traditional scheduling schemes only consider the maximum throughput or fairness of the system…
Age of information (AoI) is a recently proposed metric that measures the time elapsed since the generation of the last received information update. We consider the problem of AoI minimization for a network under general interference…
We consider the age of information in a multicast network where there is a single source node that sends time-sensitive updates to $n$ receiver nodes. Each status update is one of two kinds: type I or type II. To study the age of…
A queueing system handling a sequence of message arrivals is considered where each message obsoletes all previous messages. The objective is to assess the freshness of the latest message/information that has been successfully transmitted,…
We propose and evaluate the performance of a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) dual-hop multiple relay (MR) network from an information freshness perspective using the Age of Information (AoI) metric. More specifically, we consider an…
We consider a single source-destination pair, where information updates arrive at the source at arbitrary time instants. For each update, its size, i.e. the service time required for complete transmission to the destination, is also…
A new timeliness metric, called Age-of-Information (AoI), has recently attracted a lot of research interests for real-time applications with information updates. It has been extensively studied for various queueing models based on the…
In this paper, we introduce a new metric, named Penalty upon Decision (PuD), for measuring the impact of communication delays and state changes at the source on a remote decision maker. Specifically, the metric quantifies the performance…
Motivated by the inherent value of packets arising in many cyber-physical applications (e.g., due to precision of the information content or an alarm message), we consider status update systems with update packets carrying values as well as…
In this paper, we examine a status updating system where updates generated by the source are sent to the monitor through an erasure channel. We assume each update consists of $k$ symbols and the symbol erasure in each time slot follows an…
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 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…
