Data collected and transmitted by Internet of things (IoT) devices are typically used for control and monitoring purposes; and hence, their timely delivery is of utmost importance for the underlying applications. However, IoT devices…
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…
The study of optimal preemption policies for status update systems has been a recurring topic in the age of information (AoI) literature, where threshold-based structures have been shown to be optimal under a generate-at-will update…
An optimal control problem with heterogeneous servers to minimize the average age of information (AoI) is considered. Each server maintains a separate queue, and each packet arriving to the system is randomly routed to one of the servers.…

We study age of information in a status updating system that consists of a single sampler, i.e., source node, that sends time-sensitive status updates to a single monitor node through a server node. We first consider a Gilbert-Elliot…
We study the structure of the optimal sampling policy to minimize the average age of information when the channel state (i.e., busy or idle) is not immediately perceived by the transmitter upon the delivery of a sample due to random delays…
Age of Information (AoI) measures the freshness of data in mission critical Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications i.e., industrial internet, intelligent transportation systems etc. In this paper, a new system model is proposed to estimate…
In this paper, a real-time Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring system is considered in which the IoT devices are scheduled to sample underlying physical processes and send the status updates to a common destination. In a real-world IoT, due…
We study a status update system with a source, a sampler, a transmitter, and a monitor. The source governs a stochastic process that the monitor wants to observe in a timely manner. To achieve this, the sampler samples fresh update packets…
We study a discrete-time model where each packet has a cost of not being sent -- this cost might depend on the packet content. We study the tradeoff between the age and the cost where the sender is confined to packet-based strategies. The…
The demand for Internet services that require frequent updates through small messages, such as microblogging, has tremendously grown in the past few years. Although the use of such applications by domestic users is usually free, their…
We introduce models of gossip based communication networks in which each node is simultaneously a sensor, a relay and a user of information. We model the status of ages of information between nodes as a discrete time Markov chain. In this…
