This letter provides query-age-optimal joint sampling and transmission scheduling policies for a heterogeneous status update system, consisting of a stochastic arrival and a generate-at-will source, with an unreliable channel. Our main goal…
In this work, we consider a status update system with a sensor and a receiver. The status update information is sampled by the sensor and then forwarded to the receiver through a channel with non-stationary delay distribution. The data…
We consider a slotted-time system with a transmitter-receiver pair. In the system, a transmitter observes a dynamic source and sends updates to a remote receiver through a communication channel. We assume that the channel is error-free but…
We show how universal codes can be used for solving some of the most important statistical problems for time series. By definition, a universal code (or a universal lossless data compressor) can compress any sequence generated by a…
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…
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…
In this work, we study how to optimally manage the freshness of information updates sent from a source node to a destination via a channel. A proper metric for data freshness at the destination is the age-of-information, or simply age,…
Motivated from the fact that universal source coding on countably infinite alphabets is not feasible, this work introduces the notion of almost lossless source coding. Analog to the weak variable-length source coding problem studied by Han…
In applications of remote sensing, estimation, and control, timely communication is not always ensured by high-rate communication. This work proposes distributed age-efficient transmission policies for random access channels with $M$…
We study the following semi-deterministic setting of the joint source-channel coding problem: a deterministic source sequence (a.k.a. individual sequence) is transmitted via a memoryless channel, using delay-limited encoder and decoder,…
This paper studies a Shannon-theoretic version of the generalized distribution preserving quantization problem where a stationary and memoryless source is encoded subject to a distortion constraint and the additional requirement that the…
Shaping codes are used to generate code sequences in which the symbols obey a prescribed probability distribution. They arise naturally in the context of source coding for noiseless channels with unequal symbol costs. Recently, shaping…
We present and analyze a joint source-channel coding strategy for the transmission of a Gaussian source across a Gaussian channel in n channel uses per source symbol. Among all such strategies, our scheme has the following properties: i)…
Sensor sources submit updates to a monitor through an unslotted, uncoordinated, unreliable multiple access collision channel. The channel is unreliable; a collision-free transmission is received successfully at the monitor with some…
In this paper, we study a system in which a sensor forwards status updates to a receiver through an error-prone channel, while the receiver sends the transmission results back to the sensor via a reliable channel. Both channels are subject…
We study the following one-way asymmetric transmission problem, also a variant of model-based compressed sensing: a resource-limited encoder has to report a small set $S$ from a universe of $N$ items to a more powerful decoder (server). The…
This paper investigates the problem of minimizing the Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) when the communication channel has a random delay. We consider a slotted-time system where a transmitter observes a dynamic source and decides when to…
In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing the age of information in a multi-source system, where samples are taken from multiple sources and sent to a destination via a channel with random delay. Due to interference, only one…
Age of Information (AoI) is emerging as a novel metric for measuring information freshness in real-time monitoring systems. For computation-intensive status data, the information is not revealed until being processed. We consider a status…
