We consider the multicast transmission of a real-time Internet of Things (IoT) system, where a server transmits time-stamped status updates to multiple IoT devices. We apply a recently proposed metric, named age of information (AoI), to…
In applications such as remote estimation and monitoring, update packets are transmitted by power-constrained devices using short-packet codes over wireless networks. Therefore, networks need to be end-to-end optimized using information…

Age of information is a new network performance metric that captures the freshness of information at end-users. This paper studies the age of information from a scheduling perspective. To that end, we consider a wireless broadcast network…
