This paper considers a wireless network with a base station (BS) conducting timely status updates to multiple clients via adaptive non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)/orthogonal multiple access (OMA). Specifically, the BS is able to adaptively switch between NOMA and OMA for the downlink transmission to optimize the information freshness of the network, characterized by the Age of Information (AoI) metric. If the BS chooses OMA, it can only serve one client within each time slot and should decide which client to serve; if the BS chooses NOMA, it can serve more than one client at the same time and needs to decide the power allocated to the served clients. For the simple two-client case, we formulate a Markov Decision Process (MDP) problem and develop the optimal policy for the BS to decide whether to use NOMA or OMA for each downlink transmission based on the instantaneous AoI of both clients. The optimal policy is shown to have a switching-type property with obvious decision switching boundaries. A near-optimal policy with lower computation complexity is also devised. For the more general multi-client scenario, inspired by the proposed near-optimal policy, we formulate a nonlinear optimization problem to determine the optimal power allocated to each client by maximizing the expected AoI drop of the network in each time slot. We resolve the formulated problem by approximating it as a convex optimization problem. We also derive the upper bound of the gap between the approximate convex problem and the original nonlinear, nonconvex problem. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the adopted approximation. The performance of the adaptive NOMA/OMA scheme by solving the convex optimization is shown to be close to that of max-weight policy solved by exhaustive search...

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.
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.
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.
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.
