We consider a time-slotted status update system with an error-free preemptive queue. The goal of the sampler-scheduler pair is to minimize the age of information at the monitor by sampling and transmitting the freshly sampled update packets…

We consider the age of information in a multicast network where there is a single source node that sends time-sensitive updates to $n$ receiver nodes. Each status update is one of two kinds: type I or type II. To study the age of…
