In wireless industrial networks, the information of time-sensitive control systems needs to be transmitted in an ultra-reliable and low-latency manner. This letter studies the resource allocation problem in finite blocklength transmission, in which the information freshness is measured as the age of information (AoI) whose maximal AoI is characterized using extreme value theory (EVT). The considered system design is to minimize the sensors transmit power and transmission blocklength subject to constraints on the maximal AoIs tail behavior. The studied problem is solved using Lyapunov stochastic optimization, and a dynamic reliability and age-aware policy for resource allocation and status updates is proposed. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of using EVT to characterize the maximal AoI. It is shown that sensors need to send larger-size data with longer transmission blocklength at lower transmit power. Moreover, the maximal AoIs tail decays faster at the expense of higher average information age.

While information delivery in industrial Internet of things demands reliability and latency guarantees, the freshness of the controllers available information, measured by the age of information (AoI), is paramount for high-performing industrial auto mation. The problem in this work is cast as a sensors transmit power minimization subject to the peak-AoI requirement and a probabilistic constraint on queuing latency. We further characterize the tail behavior of the latency by a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) for solving the power allocation problem through Lyapunov optimization. As each sensor utilizes its own data to locally train the GPD model, we incorporate federated learning and propose a local-model selection approach which accounts for correlation among the sensors training data. Numerical results show the tradeoff between the transmit power, peak AoI, and delays tail distribution. Furthermore, we verify the superiority of the proposed correlation-aware approach for selecting the local models in federated learning over an existing baseline.
We consider the problem of minimizing age in a multihop wireless network. There are multiple source-destination pairs, transmitting data through multiple wireless channels, over multiple hops. We propose a network control policy which consists of a d istributed scheduling algorithm, utilizing channel state information and queue lengths at each link, in combination with a packet dropping rule. Dropping of older packets locally at queues is seen to reduce the average age of flows, even below what can be achieved by Last Come First Served (LCFS) scheduling. Dropping of older packets also allows us to use the network without congestion, irrespective of the rate at which updates are generated. Furthermore, exploiting system state information substantially improves performance. The proposed scheduling policy obtains average age values close to a theoretical lower bound as well.
This paper studies an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless network, where a UAV is dispatched to gather information from ground sensor nodes (SN) and transfer the collected data to the depot. The information freshness is captured by the ag e of information (AoI) metric, whilst the energy consumption of the UAV is seen as another performance criterion. Most importantly, the AoI and energy efficiency are inherently competing metrics, since decreasing the AoI requires the UAV returning to the depot more frequently, leading to a higher energy consumption. To this end, we design UAV paths that optimize these two competing metrics and reveal the Pareto frontier. To formulate this problem, a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (MILP) is proposed with a flow-based constraint set and we apply Benders decomposition on the proposed formulation. The overall outcome shows that the proposed method allows deriving non-dominated solutions for decision making for UAV based wireless data collection. Numerical results are provided to corroborate our study by presenting the Pareto front of the two objectives and the effect on the UAV trajectory.
The notion of age-of-information (AoI) is investigated in the context of large-scale wireless networks, in which transmitters need to send a sequence of information packets, which are generated as independent Bernoulli processes, to their intended re ceivers over a shared spectrum. Due to interference, the rate of packet depletion at any given node is entangled with both the spatial configurations, which determine the path loss, and temporal dynamics, which influence the active states, of the other transmitters, resulting in the queues to interact with each other in both space and time over the entire network. To that end, variants in the packet update frequency affect not just the inter-arrival time but also the departure process, and the impact of such phenomena on the AoI is not well understood. In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework to characterize the AoI performance in the aforementioned setting. Particularly, tractable expressions are derived for both the peak and average AoI under two different transmission protocols, namely the FCFS and the LCFS-PR. Based on the theoretical outcomes, we find that: i) networks operating under LCFS-PR are able to attain smaller values of peak and average AoI than that under FCFS, whereas the gain is more pronounced when the infrastructure is densely deployed, ii) in sparsely deployed networks, ALOHA with a universally designed channel access probability is not instrumental in reducing the AoI, thus calling for more advanced channel access approaches, and iii) when the infrastructure is densely rolled out, there exists a non-trivial ALOHA channel access probability that minimizes the peak and average AoI under both FCFS and LCFS-PR.
Age of Information is a new metric used in real-time status update tracking applications. It measures at the destination the time elapsed since the generation of the last received packet. In this paper, we consider the co-existence of critical and no ncritical status updates in a two-hop system, for which the network assigns different scheduling priorities. Specifically, the high priority is reserved to the packets that traverse the two nodes, as they experience worse latency performance. We obtain the distribution of the age and its natural upper bound termed peak age. We provide tight upper and lower bounds for priority updates and the exact expressions for the non-critical flow of packets with a general service distribution. The results give fundamental insights for the design of age-sensitive multi-hop systems.
