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 methods is verified through numerical results.

Electro chemo mechanics and fracture of Li ion battery electrodes
Dal, Hüsnü (2016-06-16)
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...
Joint Antenna and Propagation Model Parameter Estimation Using RSS Measurements
Kasebzadeh, Parinaz; Fritsche, Carsten; Özkan, Emre; Gunnarsson, Fredrik; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2015-07-06)
In this paper, a semi-parametric model for RSS measurements is introduced that can be used to predict coverage in cellular radio networks. The model is composed of an empirical log-distance model and a deterministic antenna gain model that accounts for possible non-uniform base station antenna radiation. A least-squares estimator is proposed to jointly estimate the path loss and antenna gain model parameters. Simulation as well as experimental results verify the efficacy of this approach. The method can pro...
Broadband phase shifter realization with surface micromachined lumped components
Tokgöz, Korkut Kaan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
Phase Shifters are one of the most important building cells of the applications in microwave and millimeter-wave range, especially for communications and radar applications; to steer the main beam for electronic scanning. This thesis includes all of the stages starting from the theoretical design stage to the measurements of the phase shifters. In detail, all-pass network phase shifter configuration is used to achieve broadband and ultra wide-band differential phase characteristics. For these reasons, 1 to ...
Lithium-intercalation oxides for rechargeable batteries
Ceder, Gerbrand; VanderVen, Anton; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1998-09-01)
Since the introduction of the LixC/LiCoO2 cell, rechargeable lithium batteries have become the technology of choice for applications where volume or weight are a consideration (e.g., laptop computers and cell phones). The focus of current research in cathode-active materials is on less-expensive or higher-performance materials than LiCoO2. This article illustrates how first-principles calculations can play a critical role in obtaining the understanding needed to design improved cathode oxides.
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...
