Age of information (AoI), defined as the time elapsed since the last received update was generated, is a newly proposed metric to measure the timeliness of information updates in a network. We consider AoI minimization problem for a network…
We consider an M server system in which each server can service at most one update packet at a time. The system designer controls (1) scheduling - the order in which the packets get serviced, (2) routing - the server that an arriving update…
Stringent demands for timely information delivery, driven by the widespread adoption of real-time applications and the Internet of Things, have established the age of information (AoI) as a critical metric for quantifying data freshness.…
Age-of-Information (AoI) is a recently introduced metric for network operation with sensor applications which quantifies the freshness of data. In the context of networked control systems (NCSs), we compare the worth of the AoI metric with…
In this paper, we consider a transmission scheduling problem, in which several streams of status update packets with diverse priority levels are sent through a shared channel to their destinations. We introduce a notion of Lexicographic age…
In this paper, downlink transmission scheduling of popular files is optimized with the assistance of wireless cache nodes. Specifically, the requests of each file, which is further divided into a number of segments, are modeled as a Poisson…
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…
With the evolution of the Internet, multicast communications seem particularly well adapted for large scale commercial distribution applications, for example, the pay TV channels and secure videoconferencing. Key management for multicast…
Many online platforms are providing valuable real-time contents (e.g., traffic) by continuously acquiring the status of different Points of Interest (PoIs). In status acquisition, it is challenging to determine how frequently a PoI should…
Information-theoretic arguments focus on modeling the reliability of information transmission, assuming availability of infinite data at sources, thus ignoring randomness in message generation times at the respective sources. However, in…
We study the scheduling problem for a multi-source single-server generate-at-will (GAW) status update system with sources having heterogeneous service times and weights, with the goal of minimizing the weighted sum age of information (AoI).…
Peer-to-peer network is one in which each node in the network can act as a client or server for the other nodes in the network. It allows shared access to various resources such as files, peripherals, and sensors without the need for a…
We consider a cache updating system with a source, a cache and a user. There are $n$ files. The source keeps the freshest version of the files which are updated with known rates $\lambda_i$. The cache downloads and keeps the freshest…
This paper investigates the information freshness of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, where each IoT device makes a partial observation of a common target and transmits the information update to a central receiver to recover…
Age of Information (AoI) is a critical metric for several Internet of Things (IoT) applications, where sensors keep track of the environment by sending updates that need to be as fresh as possible. The development of edge computing…
In this paper, we analyze the impact of different encoding schemes on the age of information (AoI) performance in a point-to-point system, where a source generates packets based on the status updates collected from multiple sensors and…
Data collected and transmitted by Internet of things (IoT) devices are typically used for control and monitoring purposes; and hence, their timely delivery is of utmost importance for the underlying applications. However, IoT devices…
A clustered gossip network is considered in which a source updates its information over time, and end-nodes, organized in clusters through clusterheads, are keeping track of it. The goal for the nodes is to remain as fresh as possible,…
Query-based sampling has become an increasingly popular technique for monitoring Markov sources in pull-based update systems. However, most of the contemporary literature on this assumes an exponential distribution for query delay and often…
In status update systems, multiple features carried by the status updating process require pursuit of objectives beyond timeliness measured by the age of information of updates. We consider such a problem where the transmitter sends status…
