We consider a system in which an information source generates independent and identically distributed status update packets from an observed phenomenon that takes $n$ possible values based on a given pmf. These update packets are encoded at…

We consider an information update system where an information receiver requests updates from an information provider in order to minimize its age of information. The updates are generated at the transmitter as a result of completing a set…

We consider an information update system where an information receiver requests updates from an information provider in order to minimize its age of information. The updates are generated at the information provider (transmitter) as a…

A resource-constrained system monitors a source of information by requesting a finite number of updates subject to random transmission delays. An a priori fixed update request policy is shown to minimize a polynomial penalty function of the…

An information source generates independent and identically distributed status update messages from an observed random phenomenon which takes $n$ distinct values based on a given pmf. These update packets are encoded at the transmitter node…

We consider an information updating system where an information provider and an information receiver engage in an update process over time. Different from the existing literature where updates are countable (hard) and take effect either…

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,…

In this paper, we consider a status update system, in which update packets are sent to the destination via a wireless medium that allows for multiple rates, where a higher rate also naturally corresponds to a higher error probability. The…

We consider a communication system in which the destination receives status updates from an information source that observes a physical process. The transmitter performs semantics-empowered filtering as a means to send only the most…

Having timely and fresh knowledge about the current state of information sources is critical in a variety of applications. In particular, a status update may arrive at the destination much later than its generation time due to processing…

We study the version age of information in a multi-hop multi-cast cache-enabled network, where updates at the source are marked with incrementing version numbers, and the inter-update times on the links are not necessarily exponentially…

We consider periodical status updates between a transmitter and a legitimate receiver, in the presence of an eavesdropper that is sometimes able to capture pieces of information. We assume that, in the absence of such a threat, the…

In this paper, we study an age of information minimization problem, where multiple flows of update packets are sent over multiple servers to their destinations. Two online scheduling policies are proposed. When the packet generation and…

Having timely and fresh knowledge about the current state of information sources is critical in a variety of applications. In particular, a status update may arrive at the destination later than its generation time due to processing and…

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,…

In this work, we investigate the design of information-update systems, where incoming update packets are forwarded to a remote destination through multiple servers (each server can be viewed as a wireless channel). One important performance…

Using age of information as the freshness metric, we examine a multicast network in which real-time status updates are generated by the source and sent to a group of $n$ interested receivers. We show that in order to keep the information…

Age-of-information is a novel performance metric in communication systems to indicate the freshness of the latest received data, which has wide applications in monitoring and control scenarios. Another important performance metric in these…

We consider a scenario where a monitor is interested in being up to date with respect to the status of some system which is not directly accessible to this monitor. However, we assume a source node has access to the status and can send…

In status update systems, multiple features carried by the status updating process require pursuit of objectives beyond timeliness measured by the age of information of updates. We consider such a problem where the transmitter sends status…
