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 which 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.

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 succ
ess 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.
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
Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) is a newly introduced performance metric that considers communication goals. Therefore, comparing with traditional performance metrics and the recently introduced metric - Age of Information (AoI), AoII achieves be
tter performance in many real-life applications. However, the fundamental nature of AoII has been elusive so far. In this paper, we consider the AoII in a system where a transmitter sends updates about a multi-state Markovian source to a remote receiver through an unreliable channel. The communication goal is to minimize AoII subject to a power constraint. We cast the problem into a Constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP) and prove that the optimal policy is a mixture of two deterministic threshold policies. Afterward, by leveraging the notion of Relative Value Iteration (RVI) and the structural properties of threshold policy, we propose an efficient algorithm to find the threshold policies as well as the mixing coefficient. Lastly, numerical results are laid out to highlight the performance of AoII-optimal policy.
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.
In this short paper, we consider the problem of designing a near-optimal competitive scheduling policy for $N$ mobile users, to maximize the freshness of available information uniformly across all users. Prompted by the unreliability and non-stationa
rity of the emerging 5G-mmWave channels for high-speed users, we forego of any statistical assumptions of the wireless channels and user-mobility. Instead, we allow the channel states and the mobility patterns to be dictated by an omniscient adversary. It is not difficult to see that no competitive scheduling policy can exist for the corresponding throughput-maximization problem in this adversarial model. Surprisingly, we show that there exists a simple online distributed scheduling policy with a finite competitive ratio for maximizing the freshness of information in this adversarial model. Moreover, we also prove that the proposed policy is competitively optimal up to an $O(ln N)$ factor.
