The prevalence of e-commerce has made detailed customers' personal information readily accessible to retailers, and this information has been widely used in pricing decisions. When involving personalized information, how to protect the…

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…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been proposed as a promising technology to collect data from IoT devices and relay it to the network. In this work, we are interested in scenarios where the data is updated periodically, and the…

In an Internet-of-Things system where status data are collected from sensors and actuators for time-critical applications, the freshness of data is vital and can be quantified by the recently proposed age-of-information (AoI) metric. In…

We consider a novel pricing and advertising framework, where a seller not only sets product price but also designs flexible 'advertising schemes' to influence customers' valuation of the product. We impose no structural restriction on the…

We design efficient online scheduling policies to maximize the freshness of information delivered to the users in a cellular network under both adversarial and stochastic channel and mobility assumptions. The information freshness achieved…

This paper studies the user scheduling problem in a multiuser multiple-input multi-output (MIMO) status update system, in which multiple single-antenna devices aim to send their latest statuses to a multiple-antenna information-fusion…

Resource management in Internet of Things (IoT) systems is a major challenge due to the massive scale and heterogeneity of the IoT system. For instance, most IoT applications require timely delivery of collected information, which is a key…

We consider the use of pricing as a regulatory mechanism when an unknown number of autonomous agents compete for access to a shared resource (possibly limited in volume or capacity). In standard dynamic pricing control systems, an…

To promote viral marketing, major social platforms (e.g., Facebook Marketplace and Pinduoduo) repeatedly select and invite different users (as seeds) in online social networks to share fresh information about a product or service with their…

Age of Information (AoI) has emerged as an important quality-of-service measure for applications that prioritize delivery of the freshest information, e.g., virtual or augmented reality over mobile devices and wireless sensor networks used…

We consider the problem of minimizing age of information in general single-hop and multihop wireless networks. First, we formulate a way to convert AoI optimization problems into equivalent network stability problems. Then, we propose a…

In this paper, we consider the cellular Internet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), where UAVs sense data for multiple tasks and transmit the data to the base station (BS). To quantify the "freshness" of the data at the BS, we bring in the…

Age-of-Information (AoI) is a performance metric for scheduling systems that measures the freshness of the data available at the intended destination. AoI is formally defined as the time elapsed since the destination received the recent…

Age of Information (AoI) is a recently defined quantity, which measures the freshness of information in a communication scheme. In this paper, we analyze a network that consists of a sensor node, an energy source and a receiver. The energy…

The significance of the freshness of sensor and control data at the receiver side, often referred to as Age of Information (AoI), is fundamentally constrained by contention for limited network resources. Evidently, network congestion is…

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…

Recently, there is growing interest and need for dynamic pricing algorithms, especially, in the field of online marketplaces by offering smart pricing options for big online stores. We present an approach to adjust prices based on the…

Information freshness and low latency communication is important to many emerging applications. While Age of Information (AoI) serves as a metric of information freshness, packet delay is a traditional metric of communication latency. We…

We consider the problem of minimizing age of information in multihop wireless networks and propose three classes of policies to solve the problem - stationary randomized, age difference, and age debt. For the unicast setting with fixed…
