In this paper, we consider the average age minimization problem where a central entity schedules M users among the N available users for transmission over unreliable channels. It is well-known that obtaining the optimal policy, in this…

This paper investigates the information freshness of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, where each IoT device makes a partial observation of a common target and transmits the information update to a central receiver to recover…

In this paper, we examine a multi-sensor system where each sensor may monitor more than one time-varying information process and send status updates to a remote monitor over a common channel. We consider that each sensor's status update may…

In this paper, we address the optimization problem of moments of Age of Information (AoI) for active and passive users in a random access network. In this network, active users broadcast sensing data while passive users only receive…

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,…

Consider a message processing system whose objective is to produce the most current information as measured by the quantity known as "age of information". We have argued in previous papers that if we are allowed to design the message…

This paper considers a random access system where each sender can be in two modes of operation, active or not active, and where the set of active users is available to a common receiver only. Active transmitters encode data into independent…

This paper studies the application of cognitive radio inspired non-orthogonal multiple access (CR-NOMA) to reduce age of information (AoI) for uplink transmission. In particular, a time division multiple access (TDMA) based legacy network…

An interference management problem among multiple overlapped random access networks (RANs) is investigated, each of which operates with slotted ALOHA protocol. Assuming that access points and users have multiple antennas, a novel…

We design efficient online scheduling policies to maximize the freshness of information delivered to the users in a cellular network under both adversarial and stochastic channel and mobility assumptions. The information freshness achieved…

Associated with multi-packet reception at the access point, irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) holds a great potential in improving the access capacity of massive machine type communication systems. Considering the time-frequency…

Age-of-Information (AoI), or simply age, which measures the data freshness, is essential for real-time Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. On the other hand, energy saving is urgently required by many energy-constrained IoT devices. This…

This work introduces a framework for analyzing the Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) in a real-time monitoring system with a generic discrete-time Markov source. We study a noisy communication system employing a hybrid automatic repeat…

This paper considers multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assist sensing data transmissions from the ground users (GUs) to a remote base station (BS). Each UAV collects sensing data from the GUs and then forwards the sensing data to…

We study the average Age of Information (AoI) in a system where physical sources produce independent discrete-time updates that are each observed by several sensors. We devise a model that is simple, but still capable to capture the main…

This paper considers a cognitive radio-based IoT monitoring system, consisting of an IoT device that aims to update its measurement to a destination using cognitive radio technique. Specifically, the IoT device as a secondary user (SIoT),…

Many emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications rely on information collected by sensor nodes where the freshness of information is an important criterion. \textit{Age of Information} (AoI) is a metric that quantifies information…

Random Access (RA) Medium Access (MAC) protocols are simple and effective when the nature of the traffic is unpredictable and random. In the following paper, a novel RA protocol called Enhanced Contention Resolution ALOHA (ECRA) is…

Timely and informative data dissemination in communication networks is essential for enhancing system performance and energy efficiency, as it reduces the transmission of outdated or redundant data. Timeliness metrics, such as Age of…

Machine-type communication (MTC) has been extensively studied to provide connectivity for devices and sensors in the Internet-of-Thing (IoT). Thanks to the sparse activity, random access, e.g., ALOHA, is employed for MTC to lower signaling…
