We consider a communication system in which status updates arrive at a source node, and should be transmitted through a network to the intended destination node. The status updates are samples of a random process under observation,…
Multiple sources submit updates to a monitor through an M/M/1 queue. A stochastic hybrid system (SHS) approach is used to derive the average age of information (AoI) for an individual source as a function of the offered load of that source…
We study the average Age of Information (AoI) in a system where physical sources produce independent discrete-time updates that are each observed by several sensors. We devise a model that is simple, but still capable to capture the main…
This paper studies information freshness in information update systems operated with TDMA and FDMA. Information freshness is characterized by a recently introduced metric, age of information (AoI), defined as the time elapsed since the…
A source submits status updates to a network for delivery to a destination monitor. Updates follow a route through a series of network nodes. Each node is a last-come-first-served queue supporting preemption in service. We characterize the…
The Age-of-Information (AoI) has recently been proposed as an important metric for investigating the timeliness performance in information-update systems. Prior studies on AoI optimization often consider a Push model, which is concerned…
The age of information (AoI) performance analysis is essential for evaluating the information freshness in the large-scale mobile edge computing (MEC) networks. This work proposes the earliest analysis of the mean AoI (MAoI) performance of…
In this paper, we aim to establish the connection between Age of Information (AoI) in network theory, information uncertainty in information theory, and detection delay in time series analysis. We consider a dynamic system whose state…
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…
In this letter, we investigate the impact of channel memory on the average age of information (AoI) for networks with various packet arrival models under first-come-first-served (FCFS) and preemptive last-generated-first-served (pLGFS)…
Age of information (AoI) is a performance metric that captures the freshness of status updates. While AoI has been studied thoroughly for point-to-point links, the impact of modern random-access protocols on this metric is still unclear. In…
We study a general setting of status updating systems in which a set of source nodes provide status updates about some physical process(es) to a set of monitors. The freshness of information available at each monitor is quantified in terms…
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…
The timely sharing of raw sensing information in the vehicular networks (VNETs) is essential to safety. In order to improve the freshness of sensing information, joint scheduling of multi-dimensional resources such as communication and…
We consider a multi-source status update system in which status updates are transmitted as packets containing the measured value of the monitored process and a time stamp representing the time when the sample was generated. The packets of…
Modern sensing and monitoring applications typically consist of sources transmitting updates of different sizes, ranging from a few bytes (position, temperature, etc.) to multiple megabytes (images, video frames, LIDAR point scans, etc.).…
Status update systems require the timely collection of sensing information for which deploying multiple sensors/servers to obtain diversity gains is considered as a promising solution. In this work, we construct an absorbing Markov chain…
We apply a fluid-reservoir model to study the Age-of-Information (AoI) of update packets through energy-harvesting transmitters. The model is closer to how energy is stored and depleted in reality, and can reveal the system behavior for…
In this paper, we propose a new measure for the freshness of information, which uses the mutual information between the real-time source value and the delivered samples at the receiver to quantify the freshness of the information contained…
Timely updates are critical for real-time monitoring and control applications powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). As these systems scale, they become increasingly vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where malicious agents interfere with…
