This paper considers a communication system where a source sends time-sensitive information to its destination via queues in tandem. We assume that the arrival process as well as the service process (of each server) are memoryless, and each…
We consider a single server communication setting where the interarrival times of data updates at the source node and the service times to the destination node are arbitrarily distributed. We consider two service discipline models. If a new…
We consider a communication system in which status updates arrive at a source node, and should be transmitted through a network to the intended destination node. The status updates are samples of a random process under observation,…
A source submits status updates to a network for delivery to a destination monitor. Updates follow a route through a series of network nodes. Each node is a last-come-first-served queue supporting preemption in service. We characterize the…
In this work, we investigate information freshness in a status update communication system consisting of a source-destination link. Initially, we study the properties of a sample path of the age of information (AoI) process at the…
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…
We consider a system consisting of $N$ source nodes communicating with a common receiver. Each source node has a buffer of infinite capacity to store incoming bursty traffic in the form of status updates transmitted in packets, which should…
Age of information (AoI) is a time-evolving measure of information freshness, that tracks the time since the last received fresh update was generated. Analyzing peak and average AoI, two time average metrics of AoI, for various continuous…
When designing a message transmission system, from the point of view of making sure that the information transmitted is as fresh as possible, two rules of thumb seem reasonable: use small buffers and adopt a last-in-first-out policy. In…
Freshness of data is an important performance metric for real-time applications, which can be measured by age-of-information. For computation-intensive messages, the embedded information is not available until being computed. In this paper,…
We consider the peak age-of-information (PAoI) in an M/M/1 queueing system with packet delivery error, i.e., update packets can get lost during transmissions to their destination. We focus on two types of policies, one is to adopt…
We show how to calculate the Age of Information in an overtake-free network of quasi-reversible queues, with exponential exogenous interarrivals of multiple classes of update packets and exponential service times at all nodes. Results are…
The Age of Information (AoI) is a performance metric that quantifies the freshness of data in systems where timely updates are critical. Most state-of-the-art methods typically assume that packets enter the monitored system with zero age,…
Age of Information is a new metric used in real-time status update tracking applications. It measures at the destination the time elapsed since the generation of the last received packet. In this paper, we consider the co-existence of…
We consider the age-of-information in a multi-class $M/G/1$ queueing system, where each class generates packets containing status information. Age of information is a relatively new metric that measures the amount of time that elapsed…
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…
In this paper, we examine the Age of Information (AoI) of a source sending status updates to a monitor through a queue operating under the Processor Sharing (PS) discipline. In the PS queueing discipline, all the updates are served…
We examine multiple independent sources providing status updates to a monitor through simple queues. We formulate an Age of Information (AoI) timeliness metric and derive a general result for the AoI that is applicable to a wide variety of…
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…
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…
