This paper estimates the freshness of the information in a wireless relay communication system that employs simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) operating under ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC)…

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…
