The conventional network performance metrics such as throughput and delay do not accurately reflect the needs of some applications. Age of information (AoI) is a newly proposed metric that indicates the freshness of information from the receiver’s perspective. In this work, a network of multiple transmitter devices continuously updating a central station over an error-free multiaccess channel is studied. The average AoI expressions are derived for Round-Robin, Slotted ALOHA, and a proposed random access strategy called LAZY. Optimal transmission rates are found for the two source network case with different threshold parameters under LAZY. It is proven that for the two source network, LAZY performs significantly better in terms of data freshness compared to the Slotted ALOHA due to the utilization of the instantaneous AoI knowledge of the sources.

Optimizing age of information on real-life TCP/IP connections through reinforcement learning Sert, Egemen; Sonmez, Canberk; Baghaee, Sajjad; Uysal, Elif (2018-07-05) Age of Information (AoI) has emerged as a performance metric capturing the freshness of data for status-update based applications ( e.g. , remote monitoring) as a more suitable alternative to classical network performance indicators such as throughput or delay. Optimizing AoI often requires distinctly novel and sometimes counter-intuitive networking policies that adapt the rate of update transmissions to the randomness in network resources. However, almost all previous work on AoI to data has been theoretic...
Improving Hadoop Hive Query Response Times Through Efficient Virtual Resource Allocation Dokeroglu, Tansel; Cinar, Muhammet Serkan; SERT, SEYYİT ALPER; Coşar, Ahmet; Yazıcı, Adnan (2015-10-28) The performance of the MapReduce-based Cloud data warehouses mainly depends on the virtual hardware resources allocated. Most of the time, the resources are values selected/given by the Cloud service providers. However, setting the right virtual resources in accordance with the workload demands of a query, such as the number of CPUs, the size of RAM, and the network bandwidth, will improve the response time when querying large data on an optimized system. In this study, we carried out a set of experiments w...
Optimizing Information Freshness in Random Access Channels Yavaşcan, Orhan Tahir; Uysal, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-8-31) In this work, a number of transmission strategies aimed at optimizing information freshness in random access channels are developed and studied. Threshold-ALOHA, an age-aware modification of slotted ALOHA, suggests a fixed age threshold on the terminals before they can become active and attempt transmissions with a constant probability. Threshold ALOHA nearly halves the average Age of Information (AoI) whilst the loss of throughput compared to slotted ALOHA is less than one percent. Mumista, multiple mini s...
CodePipe: An Opportunistic Feeding and Routing Protocol for Reliable Multicast with Pipelined Network Coding Li, Peng; Guo, Song; Yu, Shui; Vasilakos, Athanasios V. (2012-03-30) Multicast is an important mechanism in modern wireless networks and has attracted significant efforts to improve its performance with different metrics including throughput, delay, energy efficiency, etc. Traditionally, an ideal loss-free channel model is widely used to facilitate routing protocol design. However, the quality of wireless links would be affected or even jeopardized by many factors like collisions, fading or the noise of environment. In this paper, we propose a reliable multicast protocol, ca...
Optimal number of routing paths in multi-path routing to minimize energy consumption in wireless sensor networks İncebacak, Davut; Tavlı, Bulent; Bıcakçı, Kemal; Altın-Kayhan, Ayşegül (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-30) In wireless sensor networks, multi-path routing is proposed for energy balancing which prolongs the network lifetime as compared to single-path routing where utilization of a single route between a source node and the base station results in imbalanced energy dissipation. While it is evident that increasing the number of routing paths mitigates the problem of energy over-utilization in a subset of nodes acting as relays, the net effect of the proliferation of multiple routing paths on energy balancing remai...
