We study the problem of minimizing the time-average expected Age of Information for status updates sent by an energy-harvesting source with a finite-capacity battery. In prior literature, optimal policies were observed to have a threshold structure under Poisson energy arrivals, for the special case of a unit-capacity battery. In this paper, we generalize this result to any (integer) battery capacity, and explicitly characterize the threshold structure. We provide the expressions relating the threshold values on the age to the average age. One of these results, that we derive from these expressions, is the unexpected equivalence of the minimum average AoI and the optimal threshold for the highest energy state.

Optimal Status Updating with a Finite-Battery Energy Harvesting Source Bacinoglu, Baran Tan; Sun, Yin; Uysal, Elif; Mutlu, Volkan (2019-06-01) We consider an energy harvesting source equipped with a finite battery, which needs to send timely status updates to a remote destination. The timeliness of status updates is measured by a non-decreasing penalty function of the age of information (AoI). The problem is to find a policy for generating updates that achieves the lowest possible time-average expected age penalty among all online policies. We prove that one optimal solution of this problem is a monotone threshold policy, which satisfies (i) each ...
Reinforcement Learning to Minimize Age of Information with an Energy Harvesting Sensor with HARQ and Sensing Cost Ceran Arslan, Elif Tuğçe; Gunduz, Deniz; Gyorgy, Andras (2019-01-01) The time average expected age of information (AoI) is studied for status updates sent from an energy-harvesting transmitter with a finite-capacity battery. The optimal scheduling policy is first studied under different feedback mechanisms when the channel and energy harvesting statistics are known. For the case of unknown environments, an average-cost reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed that learns the system parameters and the status update policy in real time. The effectiveness of the proposed me...
Balancing Energy Loads in Wireless Sensor Networks through Uniformly Quantized Energy Levels-Based Clustering ALİ, SYED AMJAD; Sevgi, Cuneyt; Koçyiğit, Altan (2010-07-25) Clustering is considered a common and an effective method to prolong the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. This paper provides a new insight into the cluster formation process based on uniformly quantizing the residual energy of the sensor nodes. The unified simulation framework provided herein, not only aids to reveal an optimum number of clusters but also the required number of quantization levels to maximize the network’s lifetime by improving energy load balancing for both homogeneous and heterogen...
A phase-field model for chemo-mechanical induced fracture in lithium-ion battery electrode particles MIEHE, C.; Dal, Hüsnü; SCHAENZEL, L. -M.; RAINA, A. (2016-06-01) Capacity fade in conventional Li-ion battery systems due to chemo-mechanical degradation during charge-discharge cycles is the bottleneck in high-performance battery design. Stresses generated by diffusion-mechanical coupling in Li-ion intercalation and deintercalation cycles, accompanied by swelling and shrinking at finite strains, cause micro-cracks, which finally disturb the electrical conductivity and isolate the electrode particles. This leads to battery capacity fade. As a first attempt towards a reli...
Improving data freshness in random access channels Atabay, Doğa Can; Uysal, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) 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 str...
