The age of information: Real-time status updating by multiple sources

RD Yates, SK Kaul - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
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 …

Age-minimal transmission for energy harvesting sensors with finite batteries: Online policies

A Arafa, J Yang, S Ulukus… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
An energy-harvesting sensor node that is sending status updates to a destination is
considered. The sensor is equipped with a battery of finite size to save its incoming energy …

Minimizing age of information with power constraints: Multi-user opportunistic scheduling in multi-state time-varying channels

H Tang, J Wang, L Song, J Song - IEEE Journal on Selected …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This work is motivated by the need of collecting fresh data from power-constrained sensors
in the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) network. A recently proposed metric, the Age of …

Timely status update in Internet of Things monitoring systems: An age-energy tradeoff

Y Gu, H Chen, Y Zhou, Y Li… - IEEE Internet of Things …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider an Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring system, in which an IoT device monitors a
physical process and transmits randomly generated status updates to its associated access …

Average age of information in wireless powered sensor networks

I Krikidis - IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this letter, we deal with the age of information (AoI) for a sensor network with wireless
power transfer (WPT) capabilities. Specifically, we study a simple network topology, where a …

Age of information in G/G/1/1 systems: Age expressions, bounds, special cases, and optimization

A Soysal, S Ulukus - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the average age of information in G/G/1/1 systems under two service discipline
models. In the first model, if a new update arrives when the service is busy, it is blocked; in …

Information freshness in cache updating systems

M Bastopcu, S Ulukus - IEEE Transactions on Wireless …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a cache updating system with a source, a cache and a user. There are n files.
The source keeps the freshest version of the files which are updated with known rates λ i …

Age of processing: Age-driven status sampling and processing offloading for edge-computing-enabled real-time IoT applications

R Li, Q Ma, J Gong, Z Zhou… - IEEE Internet of Things …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The freshness of status information is of great importance for time-critical Internet-of-Things
(IoT) applications. A metric measuring status freshness is the Age of Information (AoI), which …

Age of information-based wireless powered communication networks with selfish charging nodes
