We study age-agnostic scheduling in a non-preemptive status update system with two sources sending time-stamped information packets at random instances to a common monitor through a single server. The server is equipped with a waiting room…
A source provides status updates to monitors through a network with state defined by a continuous-time finite Markov chain. An age of information (AoI) metric is used to characterize timeliness by the vector of ages tracked by the monitors.…
This paper considers a multi-source real-time updating system in which an energy harvesting (EH)-powered transmitter node has multiple sources generating status updates about several physical processes. The status updates are then sent to a…
Having timely and fresh knowledge about the current state of information sources is critical in a variety of applications. In particular, a status update may arrive at the destination much later than its generation time due to processing…
This paper is motivated by emerging edge computing systems which consist of sensor nodes that acquire and process information and then transmit status updates to an edge receiver for possible further processing. As power is a scarce…
We consider a slotted-time system with a transmitter-receiver pair. In the system, a transmitter observes a dynamic source and sends updates to a remote receiver through a communication channel. We assume that the channel is error-free but…
We focus on a slotted ALOHA system without feedback, in which nodes transmit time-stamped updates to a common gateway. Departing from the classical generate-at-will model, we assume that each transmitter may not always have fresh…
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…
Age-of-Information (AoI) is a recently proposed metric for quantifying the freshness of information from the UE's perspective in a communication network. Recently, Kadota et al. [1] have proposed an index-type approximately optimal…
We consider a wireless network with a base station broadcasting and collecting time-sensitive data to and from spatially distributed nodes in the presence of wireless interference. The Age of Information (AoI) is the time that has elapsed…

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…

We consider a wireless network with a base station serving multiple traffic streams to different destinations. Packets from each stream arrive to the base station according to a stochastic process and are enqueued in a separate (per stream)…
Age-of-Information (AoI) is a recently introduced metric for network operation with sensor applications which quantifies the freshness of data. In the context of networked control systems (NCSs), we compare the worth of the AoI metric with…
Age-of-information is a metric that quantifies the freshness of information obtained by sampling a remote sensor. In signal-agnostic sampling, sensor updates are triggered at certain times without being conditioned on the actual sensor…

Age-of-information (AoI) is a metric quantifying information freshness at the receiver. Since AoI combines packet generation frequency, packet loss, and delay into a single metric, it has received a lot of research attention as an interface…
