Information freshness has attracted increasingly attention in the past decade as it plays a critical role in the emerging real-time applications. Age of information (AoI) holds the promise of effectively characterizing the information…
This paper investigates the information freshness of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, where each IoT device makes a partial observation of a common target and transmits the information update to a central receiver to recover…
While age of Information (AoI) has gained importance as a metric characterizing the fresh-ness of information in information-update systems and time-critical applications, most previous studies on AoI have been theoretical. In this chapter,…
In this work, we combine the two notions of timely delivery of information in order to study their interplay; namely, deadline-constrained packet delivery due to latency constraints and freshness of information at the destination. More…
In this article, we provide an accessible introduction to the emerging idea of Age of Information (AoI) that quantifies freshness of information and explore its possible role in the efficient design of freshness-aware Internet of Things…
This paper investigates the information freshness of two-hop networks. Age of information (AoI) is used as the metric to characterize the information freshness, defined as the time elapsed since the latest received status update was…
We investigate the age-of-information (AoI) in the context of random access networks, in which transmitters need to send a sequence of information packets to intended receivers over shared spectrum. We establish an analytical framework that…
We consider a discrete-time multi-channel network where the destination collects time-sensitive packets from multiple sources with sided channel information. The popular metric, Age of Information (AoI), is applied to measure the data…
Age of Information (AoI) has become an important concept in communications, as it allows system designers to measure the freshness of the information available to remote monitoring or control processes. However, its definition tacitly…
A sensor samples and transmits status updates to a destination through a wireless channel that wears out over time and with every use. At each time slot, the sensor can decide to sample and transmit a fresh status update, restore the…
This paper considers a large-scale wireless network consisting of source-destination (SD) pairs, where the sources send time-sensitive information, termed status updates, to their corresponding destinations in a time-slotted fashion. We…
Age-of-information (AoI) is a newly proposed performance metric of information freshness. It differs from the traditional delay metric, because it is destination centric and measures the time that elapsed since the last received fresh…
The freshness of status updates is imperative in mission-critical Internet of things (IoT) applications. Recently, Age of Information (AoI) has been proposed to measure the freshness of updates at the receiver. However, AoI only…
Age of information (AoI) measures information freshness at the receiver. AoI may provide insights into quality of service in communication systems. For this reason, it has been used as a cross-layer metric for wireless communication…
This work is motivated by the need of collecting fresh data from power-constrained sensors in the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) network. A recently proposed metric, the Age of Information (AoI) is adopted to measure data freshness…
This paper investigates an Internet of Things (IoT) system in which multiple devices are observing some object's physical parameters and then offloading their observations back to the BS in time with opportunistic channel access.…
A queueing system handling a sequence of message arrivals is considered where each message obsoletes all previous messages. The objective is to assess the freshness of the latest message/information that has been successfully transmitted,…
Age-of-information (AoI) is a metric quantifying information freshness at the receiver. It captures the delay together with packet loss and packet generation rate. However, the existing literature focuses on average or peak AoI and neglects…
The timeliness of status message delivery in communications networks is subjective to time-varying wireless channel transmissions. In this paper, we investigate the age of information (AoI) of each source in a multi-source M/G/1 queueing…
Applications like environmental sensing, and health and activity sensing, are supported by networks of devices (nodes) that send periodic packet transmissions over the wireless channel to a sink node. We look at simple abstractions that…
