Vacation queueing systems are widely used as an extension of the classical queueing theory. We consider both working vacations and regular vacations in this paper, and compare systems with vacations to the regular $M/M/1$ system via mean…
In this paper, we consider a scenario where an energy harvesting sensor continuously monitors a system and sends time-stamped status updates to a destination. The destination keeps track of the system status through the received updates. We…
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…
