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…
In this paper, we propose a new measure for the freshness of information, which uses the mutual information between the real-time source value and the delivered samples at the receiver to quantify the freshness of the information contained…
In this study, we investigate the optimal transmission policies within an energy harvesting status update system, where the demand for status updates depends on the state of the source. The system monitors a two-state Markovian source that…
The age of information, as a metric for evaluating information freshness, has received a lot of attention. Recently, an interesting connection between the age of information and remote estimation error was found in a sampling problem of…

It has been well established that wireless network coding can significantly improve the efficiency of multi-hop wireless networks. However, in a stochastic environment some of the packets might not have coding pairs, which limits the number…
In this paper, we aim to design an optimal sampler for a system in which fresh samples of a signal (source) are sent through an unreliable channel to a remote estimator, and acknowledgments are sent back over a feedback channel. Both the…
In this paper, we consider a multiuser uplink status update system, where a monitor aims to timely collect randomly generated status updates from multiple end nodes through a shared wireless channel. We adopt the recently proposed metric,…
We consider a G/G/1 queueing system with a single server, where updates arrive from different sources stochastically with possibly different update inter-generation time distributions. The server can transmit/serve at most one update at any…
We consider a source that collects a multiplicity of streams of updates and sends them through a network to a monitor. However, only a single update can be in the system at a time. Therefore, the transmitter always preempts the packet being…
We consider a network of status updating sensors whose updates are collected and sent to a monitor by a gateway. The monitor desires as fresh as possible updates from the network of sensors. The gateway may either poll a sensor for its…
In this work, we derive optimal transmission policies in an energy harvesting status update system. The system monitors a stochastic process which can be either in a normal or in an alarm state of operation. We capture the freshness of…
This paper investigates sensor scheduling for state estimation of complex networks over shared transmission channels. For a complex network of dynamical systems, referred to as nodes, a sensor network is adopted to measure and estimate the…
Many systems necessitate frequent and consistent updates of a specific information. Often this information is updated regularly, where an old packet becomes completely obsolete in the presence of a new packet. In this context, we consider a…
We consider the problem of minimizing the age of information when a source can transmit status updates over two heterogeneous channels. Our work is motivated by recent developments in 5G mmWave technology, where transmissions may occur over…
Age of information (AoI), a notion that measures the information freshness, is an essential performance measure for time-critical applications in Internet of Things (IoT). With the surge of computing resources at the IoT devices, it is…
