Most existing stochastic models on age of information (AoI) focus on a single shared server serving status update packets from $N>1$ sources where each packet update stream is Poisson, i.e., single-hop scenario. In the current work, we…
Modern sensing and monitoring applications typically consist of sources transmitting updates of different sizes, ranging from a few bytes (position, temperature, etc.) to multiple megabytes (images, video frames, LIDAR point scans, etc.).…
We consider a multicast network in which real-time status updates generated by a source are replicated and sent to multiple interested receiving nodes through independent links. The receiving nodes are divided into two groups: one priority…
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 networks with intermittent connectivity, such as mobile, aerial, and space systems, maintaining information freshness is complicated by time-varying arrivals, service disruptions, and interactions among traffic classes with different…
