Previous works on age of information and erasure channels have dealt with specific models and computed the average age or average peak age for certain settings. In this paper, given a source that produces a letter every T-s seconds and an erasure channel t ...
Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: high priority or ordinary (low priority). These updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. However, the transmission policy of each pack ...
We consider a source that collects a multiplicity of streams of updates and sends them through a network to a monitor. However, only a single update can be in the system at a time. Therefore, the transmitter always preempts the packet being served when a n ...
In any communication system, there exist two dimensions through which the information at the source becomes distorted before reaching the destination: the noisy channel and time. Messages transmitted through a noisy channel are susceptible to modification ...
Given a source that produces a letter every T-s seconds and an erasure channel that can be used every T-c seconds, we ask what is the coding strategy that minimizes the time-average "age of information" that an observer of the channel output incurs. We wil ...
Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: priority or ordinary; these updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. We analyze a transmission policy that treats updates depending on ...
