Sensor sources submit updates to a monitor through an unslotted, uncoordinated, unreliable multiple access collision channel. The channel is unreliable; a collision-free transmission is received successfully at the monitor with some transmission success probability. For an infinite-user model in which the sensors collectively transmit updates as a Poisson process and each update has an independent exponential transmission time, a stochastic hybrid system (SHS) approach is used to derive the average age of information (AoI) as a function of the offered load and the transmission success probability. The analysis is then extended to evaluate the individual age of a selected source. When the number of sources and update transmission rate grow large in fixed proportion, the limiting asymptotic individual age is shown to provide an accurate individual age approximation for a small number of sources.

We consider updating strategies for a local cache which downloads time-sensitive files from a remote server through a bandwidth-constrained link. The files are requested randomly from the cache by local users according to a popularity distribution wh
ich varies over time according to a Markov chain structure. We measure the freshness of the requested time-sensitive files through their Age of Information (AoI). The goal is then to minimize the average AoI of all requested files by appropriately designing the local caches downloading strategy. To achieve this goal, the original problem is relaxed and cast into a Constrained Markov Decision Problem (CMDP), which we solve using a Lagrangian approach and Linear Programming. Inspired by this solution for the relaxed problem, we propose a practical cache updating strategy that meets all the constraints of the original problem. Under certain assumptions, the practical updating strategy is shown to be optimal for the original problem in the asymptotic regime of a large number of files. For a finite number of files, we show the gain of our practical updating strategy over the traditional square-root-law strategy (which is optimal for fixed non time-varying file popularities) through numerical simulations.
In this paper, we investigate a cache updating system with a server containing $N$ files, $K$ relays and $M$ users. The server keeps the freshes
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 $lambda_i$. The cache downloads and keeps the freshest version of the fi
les from the source with rates $c_i$. The user gets updates from the cache with rates $u_i$. When the user gets an update, it either gets a fresh update from the cache or the file at the cache becomes outdated by a file update at the source in which case the user gets an outdated update. We find an analytical expression for the average freshness of the files at the user. Next, we generalize our setting to the case where there are multiple caches in between the source and the user, and find the average freshness at the user. We provide an alternating maximization based method to find the update rates for the cache(s), $c_i$, and for the user, $u_i$, to maximize the freshness of the files at the user. We observe that for a given set of update rates for the user (resp. for the cache), the optimal rate allocation policy for the cache (resp. for the user) is a $threshold$ $policy$, where the optimal update rates for rapidly changing files at the source may be equal to zero. Finally, we consider a system where multiple users are connected to a single cache and find update rates for the cache and the users to maximize the total freshness over all users.
We address the problem of how to optimally schedule data packets over an unreliable channel in order to minimize the estimation error of a simple-to-implement remote linear estimator using a constant Kalman gain to track the state of a Gauss Markov p
rocess. The remote estimator receives time-stamped data packets which contain noisy observations of the process. Additionally, they also contain the information about the quality of the sensor source, i.e., the variance of the observation noise that was used to generate the packet. In order to minimize the estimation error, the scheduler needs to use both while prioritizing packet transmissions. It is shown that a simple index rule that calculates the value of information (VoI) of each packet, and then schedules the packet with the largest current value of VoI, is optimal. The VoI of a packet decreases with its age, and increases with the precision of the source. Thus, we conclude that, for constant filter gains, a policy which minimizes the age of information does not necessarily maximize the estimator performance.
We consider a wireless communication network with an adaptive scheme to select the number of packets to be admitted and encoded for each transmission, and characterize the information timeliness. For a network of erasure channels and discrete time, w
e provide closed form expressions for the Average and Peak Age of Information (AoI) as functions of admission control and adaptive coding parameters, the feedback delay, and the maximum feasible end-to-end rate that depends on channel conditions and network topology. These new results guide the system design for robust improvements of the AoI when transmitting time sensitive information in the presence of topology and channel changes. We illustrate the benefits of using adaptive packet coding to improve information timeliness by characterizing the network performance with respect to the AoI along with its relationship to throughput (rate of successfully decoded packets at the destination) and per-packet delay. We show that significant AoI performance gains can be obtained in comparison to the uncoded case, and that these gains are robust to network variations as channel conditions and network topology change.
