Consider a message processing system whose objective is to produce the most current information as measured by the quantity known as "age of information". We have argued in previous papers that if we are allowed to design the message…
In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source continuously monitors an object and sends time-stamped status updates to a destination through a rate-limited link. We assume updates arrive randomly at the source according to a…
In this paper, we consider a discrete-time information-update system, where a service provider can proactively retrieve information from the information source to update its data and users query the data at the service provider. One example…
This paper is motivated by emerging edge computing applications in which generated data are pre-processed at the source and then transmitted to an edge server. In such a scenario, there is typically a tradeoff between the amount of…
Scheduling of the transmission of status updates over an error-prone communication channel is studied in order to minimize the long-term average age of information (AoI) at the destination, under an average resource constraint at the source…
We consider a system consisting of $N$ source nodes communicating with a common receiver. Each source node has a buffer of infinite capacity to store incoming bursty traffic in the form of status updates transmitted in packets, which should…
In this work, we investigate the design of information-update systems, where incoming update packets are forwarded to a remote destination through multiple servers (each server can be viewed as a wireless channel). One important performance…
We derive key features of the Age-of-Information distribution in a system whose activities are strictly limited to periodic instances on a global time grid. In particular, one agent periodically generates updates while the other agent…
This work studies the average age of information (AoI) of a monitoring system in which two sensors are sensing the same physical process and update status to a common monitor using their dedicated channels. Generally, using redundant…
We study the average Age of Information (AoI) in a system where physical sources produce independent discrete-time updates that are each observed by several sensors. We devise a model that is simple, but still capable to capture the main…
This paper investigates the Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) in a communication system whose channel suffers a random delay. We consider a slotted-time system where a transmitter observes a dynamic source and decides when to send updates…
A resource-constrained system monitors a source of information by requesting a finite number of updates subject to random transmission delays. An a priori fixed update request policy is shown to minimize a polynomial penalty function of the…
In this paper, we consider the multicast transmission of a real-time Internet of Things (IoT) system, where an access point (AP) transmits time-stamped status updates to multiple IoT devices. Different from the existing studies that only…
We show how to calculate the Age of Information in an overtake-free network of quasi-reversible queues, with exponential exogenous interarrivals of multiple classes of update packets and exponential service times at all nodes. Results are…
We consider a fully-connected wireless gossip network which consists of a source and $n$ receiver nodes. The source updates itself with a Poisson process and also sends updates to the nodes as Poisson arrivals. Upon receiving the updates,…
The freshness of information in real-time monitoring systems has received increasing attention, with Age of Information (AoI) emerging as a novel metric for measuring information freshness. In many applications, update packets need to be…
This paper considers a communication system where a source sends time-sensitive information to its destination. We assume that both arrival and service processes of the messages are memoryless and the source has a single server with no…
In this paper, we examine the Age of Information (AoI) of a source sending status updates to a monitor through a queue operating under the Processor Sharing (PS) discipline. In the PS queueing discipline, all the updates are served…
Consider a network where a wireless base station (BS) connects multiple source-destination pairs. Packets from each source are generated according to a renewal process and are enqueued in a single-packet queue that stores only the freshest…
We consider a node-monitor pair, where updates are generated stochastically (according to a known distribution) at the node that it wishes to send to the monitor. The node is assumed to incur a fixed cost for each transmission, and the…
