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 files 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 When the user gets an update, it either gets a fresh update from the cache or the file at the cache becomes outdated by a file update at the source in which case the user gets an outdated update.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 consider a system consisting of a server, which receives updates for $N$ files according to independent Poisson processes. The goal of the server is to deliver the latest version of the files to the user through a parallel network of $K$ caches. W e consider an update received by the user successful, if the user receives the same file version that is currently prevailing at the server. We derive an analytical expression for information freshness at the user. We observe that freshness for a file increases with increase in consolidation of rates across caches. To solve the multi-cache problem, we first solve the auxiliary problem of a single-cache system. We then rework this auxiliary solution to our parallel-cache network by consolidating rates to single routes as much as possible. This yields an approximate (sub-optimal) solution for the original problem. We provide an upper bound on the gap between the sub-optimal solution and the optimal solution. Numerical results show that the sub-optimal policy closely approximates the optimal policy.
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 an information updating system where a source produces updates as requested by a transmitter. The transmitter further processes these updates in order to generate $partial$ $updates$, which have smaller information compared to the origina l updates, to be sent to a receiver. We study the problem of generating partial updates, and finding their corresponding real-valued codeword lengths, in order to minimize the average age experienced by the receiver, while maintaining a desired level of mutual information between the original and partial updates. This problem is NP hard. We relax the problem and develop an alternating minimization based iterative algorithm that generates a pmf for the partial updates, and the corresponding age-optimal real-valued codeword length for each update. We observe that there is a tradeoff between the attained average age and the mutual information between the original and partial updates.
An information source generates independent and identically distributed status update messages from an observed random phenomenon which takes $n$ distinct values based on a given pmf. These update packets are encoded at the transmitter node to be sen t to a receiver node which wants to track the observed random variable with as little age as possible. The transmitter node implements a selective $k$ encoding policy such that rather than encoding all possible $n$ realizations, the transmitter node encodes the most probable $k$ realizations. We consider three different policies regarding the remaining $n-k$ less probable realizations: $highest$ $k$ $selective$ $encoding$ which disregards whenever a realization from the remaining $n-k$ values occurs; $randomized$ $selective$ $encoding$ which encodes and sends the remaining $n-k$ realizations with a certain probability to further inform the receiver node at the expense of longer codewords for the selected $k$ realizations; and $highest$ $k$ $selective$ $encoding$ $with$ $an$ $empty$ $symbol$ which sends a designated empty symbol when one of the remaining $n-k$ realizations occurs. For all of these three encoding schemes, we find the average age and determine the age-optimal real codeword lengths, including the codeword length for the empty symbol in the case of the latter scheme, such that the average age at the receiver node is minimized. Through numerical evaluations for arbitrary pmfs, we show that these selective encoding policies result in a lower average age than encoding every realization, and find the corresponding age-optimal $k$ values.
