Age of Information (AoI) is emerging as a novel metric for measuring information freshness in real-time monitoring systems. For computation-intensive status data, the information is not revealed until being processed. We consider a status…

We study the structure of the optimal sampling policy to minimize the average age of information when the channel state (i.e., busy or idle) is not immediately perceived by the transmitter upon the delivery of a sample due to random delays…

Consider a scenario where a source continuously monitors an object and sends time-stamped status updates to a destination through a rate-limited link. In order to measure the "freshness" of the status information available at the…
