We consider a system, containing a library of multiple files and a general memoryless communication network through which a server is connected to multiple users, each equipped with a local isolated cache of certain size that can be used to…
Caching popular content at the edge of future mobile networks has been widely considered in order to alleviate the impact of the data tsunami on both the access and backhaul networks. A number of interesting techniques have been proposed,…
The vastness of the web imposes a prohibitive cost on building large-scale search engines with limited resources. Crawl frontiers thus need to be optimized to improve the coverage and freshness of crawled content. In this paper, we propose…
We consider networked sources that generate update messages with a defined rate and we investigate the age of that information at the receiver. Typical applications are in cyber-physical systems that depend on timely sensor updates. We…
Rarely do users watch online contents entirely. We study how to take this into account to improve the performance of cache systems for video-on-demand and video-sharing platforms in terms of traffic reduction on the core network. We exploit…
This paper studies the fundamental limits of content delivery in a cache-aided broadcast network for correlated content generated by a discrete memoryless source with arbitrary joint distribution. Each receiver is equipped with a cache of…
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…
In this paper, we consider a multi-access coded caching system with decentralized prefetching, where a server hosts $N$ files, each of size $F$ bits, and is connected to $K$ users through a shared link. There are $c$ caches distributed…
We consider the binary freshness metric for gossip networks that consist of a single source and $n$ end-nodes, where the end-nodes are allowed to share their stored versions of the source information with the other nodes. We develop…
Web application performance is heavily reliant on the hit rate of memory-based caches. Current DRAM-based web caches statically partition their memory across multiple applications sharing the cache. This causes under utilization of memory…
A cache-aided broadcast network is studied, in which a server delivers contents to a group of receivers over a packet erasure broadcast channel (BC). The receivers are divided into two sets with regards to their channel qualities: the weak…
In this paper, we aim to design an optimal sampler for a system in which fresh samples of a signal (source) are sent through an unreliable channel to a remote estimator, and acknowledgments are sent back over a feedback channel. Both the…
Several solutions exist for file storage, sharing, and synchronization. Many of them involve a central server, or a collection of servers, that either store the files, or act as a gateway for them to be shared. Some systems take a…
The problem of content delivery in caching networks is investigated for scenarios where multiple users request identical files. Redundant user demands are likely when the file popularity distribution is highly non-uniform or the user…
This work explores systems where source updates require multiple sequential processing steps. We model and analyze the Age of Information (AoI) performance of various system designs under both parallel and series server setups. In parallel…
It has been recently established that joint design of content delivery and storage (coded caching) can significantly improve performance over conventional caching. This has also been extended to the case when content has non-uniform…
Age of Information is a measure of the freshness of status updates in monitoring applications and update-based systems. We study a real-time remote sensing scenario with a sensor which is restricted by time-varying energy constraints and…
We consider a system of multiple sources, a single communication channel, and a single monitoring station. Each source measures a time-varying quantity with varying levels of accuracy and one of them sends its update to the monitoring…
We consider an information update system on a gossip network, where a source node encodes information into $n$ total keys such that any subset of at least $k+1$ keys can fully reconstruct the original information. This encoding process…
Enhancing information freshness in wireless networks has gained significant attention in recent years. To optimize or analyze information freshness, which is often characterized by the age of information (AoI) metric, extensive theoretical…
