We study age of information in a status updating system that consists of a single sampler, i.e., source node, that sends time-sensitive status updates to a single monitor node through a server node. We first consider a Gilbert-Elliot service profile at the server node. In this model, service times at the server node follow a finite state Markov chain with two states: ${bad}$ state $b$ and ${good}$ state $g$ where the server is faster in state $g$. We determine the time average age experienced by the monitor node and characterize the age-optimal state transition matrix $P$ with and without an average cost constraint on the service operation. Next, we consider a Gilbert-Elliot sampling profile at the source. In this model, the interarrival times follow a finite state Markov chain with two states: ${bad}$ state $b$ and ${good}$ state $g$ where samples are more frequent in state $g$. We find the time average age experienced by the monitor node and characterize the age-optimal state transition matrix $P$.

This letter analyzes a class of information freshness metrics for large IoT systems in which terminals employ slotted ALOHA to access a common channel. Considering a Gilbert- Elliot channel model, information freshness is evaluated through a penalty function that follows a power law of the time elapsed since the last received update, in contrast with the linear growth of age of information. By means of a signal flow graph analysis of Markov processes, we provide exact closed form expressions for the average penalty and for the peak penalty violation probability.
We consider the age of information in a multicast network where there is a single source node that sends time-sensitive updates to $n$ receiver nodes. Each status update is one of two kinds: type I or type II. To study the age of information experienced by the receiver nodes for both types of updates, we consider two cases: update streams are generated by the source node at-will and update streams arrive exogenously to the source node. We show that using an earliest $k_1$ and $k_2$ transmission scheme for type I and type II updates, respectively, the age of information of both update streams at the receiver nodes can be made a constant independent of $n$. In particular, the source node transmits each type I update packet to the earliest $k_1$ and each type II update packet to the earliest $k_2$ of $n$ receiver nodes. We determine the optimum $k_1$ and $k_2$ stopping thresholds for arbitrary shifted exponential link delays to individually and jointly minimize the average age of both update streams and characterize the pareto optimal curve for the two ages.
Given $n$ randomly located source-destination (S-D) pairs on a fixed area network that want to communicate with each other, we study the age of information with a particular focus on its scaling as the network size $n$ grows. We propose a three-phase transmission scheme that utilizes textit{hierarchical cooperation} between users along with textit{mega update packets} and show that an average age scaling of $O(n^{alpha(h)}log n)$ per-user is achievable where $h$ denotes the number of hierarchy levels and $alpha(h) = frac{1}{3cdot2^h+1}$ which tends to $0$ as $h$ increases such that asymptotically average age scaling of the proposed scheme is $O(log n)$. To the best of our knowledge, this is the best average age scaling result in a status update system with multiple S-D pairs.
We consider the age of information in a multihop multicast network where there is a single source node sending time-sensitive updates to $n^L$ end nodes, and $L$ denotes the number of hops. In the first hop, the source node sends updates to $n$ first-hop receiver nodes, and in the second hop each first-hop receiver node relays the update packets that it has received to $n$ further users that are connected to it. This network architecture continues in further hops such that each receiver node in hop $ell$ is connected to $n$ further receiver nodes in hop $ell+1$. We study the age of information experienced by the end nodes, and in particular, its scaling as a function of $n$. We show that, using an earliest $k$ transmission scheme in each hop, the age of information at the end nodes can be made a constant independent of $n$. In particular, the source node transmits each update packet to the earliest $k_1$ of the $n$ first-hop nodes, and each first-hop node that receives the update relays it to the earliest $k_2$ out of $n$ second-hop nodes that are connected to it and so on. We determine the optimum $k_ell$ stopping value for each hop $ell$ for arbitrary shifted exponential link delays.
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, termed age of information (AoI), to quantify the information timeliness and freshness. Due to the random generation of the status updates at the end node side, the monitor only grasps a partial knowledge of the status update arrivals. Under such a practical scenario, we aim to address a fundamental multiuser scheduling problem: how to schedule the end nodes to minimize the network-wide AoI? To solve this problem, we formulate it as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), and develop a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm to obtain the optimal scheduling policy. By noting that the optimal policy is computationally prohibitive, we further design a low-complexity myopic policy that only minimizes the one-step expected reward. Simulation results show that the performance of the myopic policy can approach that of the optimal policy, and is better than that of the baseline policy.
