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 better 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.

In this paper, we introduce the Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) as an enabler for semantics-empowered communication, a newly advocated communication paradigm centered around datas role and its usefulness to the communications goal. First, we shed
light on how the traditional communication paradigm, with its role-blind approach to data, is vulnerable to performance bottlenecks. Next, we highlight the shortcomings of several proposed performance measures destined to deal with the traditional communication paradigms limitations, namely the Age of Information (AoI) and the error-based metrics. We also show how the AoII addresses these shortcomings and captures more meaningfully the purpose of data. Afterward, we consider the problem of minimizing the average AoII in a transmitter-receiver pair scenario where packets are sent over an unreliable channel subject to a transmission rate constraint. We prove that the optimal transmission strategy is a randomized threshold policy, and we propose a low complexity algorithm that finds both the optimal threshold and the randomization parameter. Furthermore, we provide a theoretical comparison between the AoII framework and the standard error-based metrics counterpart. Interestingly, we show that the AoII-optimal policy is also error-optimal for the adopted information source model. At the same time, the converse is not necessarily true. Finally, we implement our proposed policy in various real-life applications, such as video streaming, and we showcase its performance advantages compared to both the error-optimal and the AoI-optimal policies.
The time average expected age of information (AoI) is studied for status updates sent over an error-prone channel from an energy-harvesting transmitter with a finite-capacity battery. Energy cost of sensing new status updates is taken into account as
well as the transmission energy cost better capturing practical systems. The optimal scheduling policy is first studied under the hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol when the channel and energy harvesting statistics are known, and the existence of a threshold-based optimal policy is shown. For the case of unknown environments, average-cost reinforcement-learning algorithms are proposed that learn the system parameters and the status update policy in real-time. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated through numerical results.
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 a heterogeneous unreliable multiaccess network, wherein terminals share a common wireless channel with distinctive error probabilities, existing works have showed that a persistent round-robin (RR-P) scheduling policy (i.e., greedy policy) can be
arbitrarily worse than the optimum in terms of Age of Information (AoI) under standard Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ), and one must resort to Whittles index approach for optimal AoI. In this paper, practical Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) schemes which are widely-used in todays wireless networks are considered. We show that RR-P is very close to optimum with asymptotically many terminals in this case, by explicitly deriving tight, closed-form AoI gaps between optimum and achievable AoI by RR-P. In particular, it is rigorously proved that for RR-P, under HARQ models concerning fading channels (resp. finite-blocklength regime), the relative AoI gap compared with the optimum is within a constant of $(sqrt{e}-1)^2/4sqrt{e} cong 6.4%$ (resp. $6.2%$ with error exponential decay rate of $0.5$). In addition, RR-P enjoys the distinct advantage of implementation simplicity with channel-unaware and easy-to-decentralize operations, making it favorable in practice.
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.
