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 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…

This study considers a wireless network where multiple nodes transmit status updates to a base station (BS) via a shared, error-free channel with limited bandwidth. The status updates arrive at each node randomly. We use the Age of…

We investigate information accuracy in timeliness-based gossip networks where the source evolves according to a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) with $M$ states and disseminates status updates to a network of $n$ nodes. In addition to…

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…

Broadcasting and gossiping are fundamental communication tasks in networks. In broadcasting,one node of a network has a message that must be learned by all other nodes. In gossiping, every node has a (possibly different) message, and all…

We design and analyze gossip algorithms for networks with correlated data. In these networks, either the data to be distributed, the data already available at the nodes, or both, are correlated. This model is applicable for a variety of…

A gossip process is an iterative process in a multi-agent system where only two neighboring agents communicate at each iteration and update their states. The neighboring condition is by convention described by an undirected graph. In this…

In this paper we study gossip networks where a source observing a process sends updates to an underlying graph. Nodes in the graph communicate to their neighbors by randomly sending updates. Our interest is studying the version age of…

We consider a wireless sensor network in which all the nodes wish to spread their updates over the network using CSMA/CA protocol. We investigate the age of information of the spreading process from a transmitter perspective, which is…

We consider a node-monitor pair, where updates are generated stochastically (according to a known distribution) at the node that it wishes to send to the monitor. The node is assumed to incur a fixed cost for each transmission, and the…

We study information gathering in ad-hoc radio networks. Initially, each node of the network has a piece of information called a rumor, and the overall objective is to gather all these rumors in the designated target node. The ad-hoc…

We consider a source that shares updates with a network of $n$ gossiping nodes. The network's topology switches between two arbitrary topologies, with switching governed by a two-state continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) process.…

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…
