We study the age of information (AoI) in a random access network consisting of multiple source-destination pairs, where each source node is empowered by energy harvesting capability. Every source node transmits a sequence of data packets to…
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…

We consider a scenario where a monitor is interested in being up to date with respect to the status of some system which is not directly accessible to this monitor. However, we assume a source node has access to the status and can send…
In status update systems, multiple features carried by the status updating process require pursuit of objectives beyond timeliness measured by the age of information of updates. We consider such a problem where the transmitter sends status…

We study a goal-oriented communication system in which a source monitors an environment that evolves as a discrete-time, two-state Markov chain. At each time slot, a controller decides whether to sample the environment and if so whether to…
