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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
