We consider a scenario where a monitor is interested in being up to date with respect to the status of some system which is not directly accessible to this monitor. However, we assume a source node has access to the status and can send…

In this paper, we consider a status update system, in which update packets are sent to the destination via a wireless medium that allows for multiple rates, where a higher rate also naturally corresponds to a higher error probability. The…

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 status update system consisting of one source, one server, and one sink. The source generates packets according to a Poisson process and the packets are served according to a generally distributed service time. We consider a…

The age of information (AoI) has been extensively studied in recent years. However, few works have focused on the analysis of AoI in large wireless networks. In this work, we analyze this metric to characterize timeliness in a Poisson…

We consider a single server communication setting where the interarrival times of data updates at the source node and the service times to the destination node are arbitrarily distributed. We consider two service discipline models. If a new…

We study the information freshness under three different source aware packet management policies in a status update system consisting of two independent sources and one server. The packets of each source are generated according to the…

We study age-agnostic scheduling in a non-preemptive status update system with two sources sending time-stamped information packets at random instances to a common monitor through a single server. The server is equipped with a waiting room…

When designing a message transmission system, from the point of view of making sure that the information transmitted is as fresh as possible, two rules of thumb seem reasonable: use small buffers and adopt a last-in-first-out policy. In…

We study age of information (AoI) in a single-source dual-server status update system for the generate at will (GAW) scenario, consisting of an information source, dual servers, and a monitor. For this system, the method of stochastic…

We consider a system where randomly generated updates are to be transmitted to a monitor, but only a single update can be in the transmission service at a time. Therefore, the source has to prioritize between the two possible transmission…

Age of Information (AoI) has emerged as an important quality-of-service measure for applications that prioritize delivery of the freshest information, e.g., virtual or augmented reality over mobile devices and wireless sensor networks used…

This paper considers a multi-source real-time updating system in which an energy harvesting (EH)-powered transmitter node has multiple sources generating status updates about several physical processes. The status updates are then sent to a…

In this paper, we analyze the average age of information (AoI) and the average peak AoI (PAoI) of a multiuser mobile edge computing (MEC) system where a base station (BS) generates and transmits computation-intensive packets to user…

A source submits status updates to a network for delivery to a destination monitor. Updates follow a route through a series of network nodes. Each node is a last-come-first-served queue supporting preemption in service. We characterize the…

We consider an information update system consisting of $N$ sources sending status packets at random instances according to a Poisson process to a remote monitor through a single server. We assume a heteregeneous server with exponentially…

We study the average Age of Information (AoI) and peak AoI (PAoI) of a dual-queue status update system that monitors a common stochastic process. Although the double queue parallel transmission is instrumental in reducing AoI, the out of…

We consider a multi-source network with a common monitor, where fresh updates are generated at each source, following a Poisson process. At any time, at most one source can transmit its update to the monitor, and transmission time for…

We consider the age of information in G/G/1/1 systems under two service discipline models. In the first model, if a new update arrives when the service is busy, it is blocked; in the second model, a new update preempts the current update in…

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…
